Apple Tree

As I've mentioned before, I absolutely love our apple tree. We're expanding our driveway so that the cars can fit side-by-side, but we're going to save the apple tree (also, it's cheaper).

Here are some early blooms:

And here's a picture I took the next day - look how many more there are and how much lighter and more open they got just in 24 hours. 

Then I made Amelie stand in the photo so that this blog post would be more interesting. 

She strung those beads for a necklace in art class what feels like months ago. I keep thinking she'll get tired of it or lose it, but she's been wearing it pretty much every day, pretty much every where. (I love the art teacher at Ridgeway!)
