Spring!

Spring is right around the corner! This picture is of a branch one of my established peach trees. Each bud will be a flower, and I think every one of them produces a peach, at least that's what I think when I go to thin them! It's worth the work because the peaches are so good!

This picture is of a branch of my established almond tree. The flowers are ready to burst open! This is a closeup of the buds, not the almonds themselves--they come later! Fall is when the nuts are harvested. The bluejays come in and pluck the almonds off of the tree. They sit on our fence knocking the nuts on the wood to open them. Otherwise, the bluejays will take the nuts and bury them all over the yard.
