Spring Has Sprung

The weather has been lovely...highs in the 60's & clear blue skies. In my landlord's yard, the cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom.

This is the view of his yard from his front porch. My apartment is on the left-hand side (if you look, you can see the door tucked away on a side wall). The building on the right belongs to the neighbors (who have children that I can hear running around at 10pm).

The trees aren't in full bloom yet, but the blossoms are opening.

A few of the blossoms have fallen already. I hope it doesn't snow this weekend like it's been forecasted to. I'd like to see the trees in full bloom!

The bugs are starting to come out, too. There were several bees buzzing around the open blossoms.

A few smaller plants are starting to sprout, too.

In his yard, my landlord has plums, peaches, apples, quince, figs, and cherries. He said that he had strawberries for a while, too, but they were too unsightly. Fruit trees: beautiful and practical!
