Our courtyard apple tree has treated us with a plethora of blossoms this year. It is amazing. We have fancied the idea that there are probably more than 100,000 blossoms on it. I’d say that number is maybe half of what there really is. Did you know that October is National Apple Month? When October comes I’ll have to write a tribute post to the apples. Enjoy the photos.

The blossoms are starting to really show here, even in the mid-spring cold, rain and snow. From the Apple trees to the mini Grape Hyacinths, the colors are really coming alive. It is hard to imagine that all the little buds that turn into flowers will become fruit. It’s like the flower turns inside out and the fruit gets pulled up from the roots and out the end of the branch. The natural process of things is surely divine. At the center of it all, it looks like nothing, but in essence it is that we cannot see that is. “He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.” Psalm 135:7
