Bloomin' trees

I know I've mentioned this before, but the early blooming fruit trees, mostly plums for now, are in full flower. I've noticed some other trees starting as well. It will be probably another month before the apples blossom.

Our plum tree(s) seen from out among the grape vines.

This is a variety of plum that Ken planted (from a pit!) in the back corner of our yard a number of years back. Part of the reason he put it here was to hide the electric utility pole that stood outside our fence to the left of the tree in the photo. But that's gone now. There are actually two trees side-by-side. We intended to remove one, but never did. We think that they will eventually fuse together into a single trunk as they continue to grow. Time will tell.
