and one of our apricot trees is in full bloom. I took my grandson
out int he yard to see it yesterday and it was glorious, every branch
lined thickly with blossoms, and bees all over the place.

So it's snowing and the temperature is dropping rapidly. That's a
good sign that there won't be any fruit on the trees this year, either
so I'll have to buy fruit for jam. Dang. I don't think we've had a
crop since 1998.
