The blossoms on our ornamental cherry are numerous and beautiful this year. I don't know what conditions affect them from year to year. Water? Temperature? Whatever, this is one of the best years in recent memory.
Cherry blossoms (I think). This tree bears no fruit.
The people who maintain our central heating boiler are scheduled to come this morning for the annual checkup and maintenance. We've had no instances of the flame going out since the exhaust was re-routed up the chimney (instead of out through the wall next to the boiler). Not a single one. So, there are no issues to deal with this year. Just a cleaning and the normal part replacement.
One word : superb!
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief to be down to an annual cleaning for the boiler. The blossoms are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief to have your furnace working properly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms. And great news about your boiler.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news about the boiler situation!
ReplyDeleteI have a theory that the year of the lockdown, caused far fewer pollutants to be in the air, since far fewer cars were on the streets... and, I think that positively affected blossoms and blooms (what is the difference?) and all of our growing things. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it ;)

What about flowers for good measure?
DeleteSpringtime!!! Beautiful Photo, Walt!
ReplyDeleteYay for trouble-free heating systems.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have seen reports that pandemic = fewer car emissions = fewer cases of things like flu. So it stands to reason that flowering things could benefit, as well.
