Flowering Crabapple Tree

Our flowering crab apple tree started blooming today. It is the prettiest right now when there are green leaves, red buds and pink & white flowers.

We planted it only 3 years ago and last year it didn't bloom at all. When full grown it is only supposed to be about 8' tall.

In other local news:

The US Weather Service in Gray, Maine, announced today that May 2005 was the 3rd coldest May on record with an average daily temperature of 49.5 degrees (F). It also was the 10th wettest May on record ever.

No wonder it felt like we had moved the whole state to ... Seattle!

Well we had the hot days in recorded history here this May. I told mom last week I thought I was suddenly in Southern CA because of burning heat, horrid back-up bumper to bumper freeway traffic and smog obsuring the mountains. It's cooled off here this week some finally. Hope things warm up for you all out that way.

Were you going to post last year's picture of the flowering crab apple?
