plumping

Some of the blueberries by the Brook House are looking mighty plump, and even in the the green stage, they look pretty tasty. 

When the apple trees were planted earlier this year there were also a few blueberry bushes of a different variety planted on the little hill over the Perkins House. They have a lot to live up too. 
 

apple trees on Olive Street

We have planted six apple trees - four on the little hill behind the Perkins House, and two beside the Brook House - on Olive Street and it's exciting to see them bud! We have two Pink Lady, a Cortland, a Gala, and an Empire. The start of a tiny orchard. 

This beautiful spot of deep pink is, appropriately it would seem, on one of the Pink Lady varieties. Can't wait for the blossoms!

The gardens and flower beds are not put in yet for the year, but in makes my heart sing to see these begin their journey!
