The pear tree in my yard just started blooming too as did the orchard across the street. Our flowering plums were the first to go and the cherry tree just started yesterday. No sign of apple blossoms in our yard yet.

Hi Geordie... poor apple blossoms are way behind.

Better than Waterville Maine. Looks like they got almost 4" of rain today. I'll take a little colder than normal instead of all that WET! (Though I will sleep better when the wind machines stop for the Spring..)

I love driving through Oregon and Washington farm country this time of year because of all that is in bloom. It is just a beautiful view and really shows that nature can create a painting better than any one of us.
