This is our yellow plum tree that last year produced over 1,000 plums. Just a few bags left in the freezer to use between now and August when we&#8217;ll have fresh plums again. Excellent for breakfast smoothies!<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to seet he mountains in the background. The clouds are hovering to hide the peaks. Snow is melting, but there is still a lot at the top and on the north faces. My friend who owns Natural Trekking has still been taking clients out on snowshoe treks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_EMjNiMSmhNg\/SfZxkFz2gWI\/AAAAAAAAAE8\/DXFLp1_fNeQ\/s1600-h\/Garden+in+Bloom+09+00002.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_EMjNiMSmhNg\/SfZxkFz2gWI\/AAAAAAAAAE8\/DXFLp1_fNeQ\/s320\/Garden+in+Bloom+09+00002.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe maple tree is full of new red leaves. I with I could identify the tree next to it. It has beautiful pink blossoms and will soon be full of green leaves. In front of the maple tree is a red currant bush. It has tiny little blossoms that will hopefully be many delicious red currants come July.<\/p>\n<p>In the foreground, you can see we got the hummingbird feeder out last weekend. They are back and we&#8217;ve seen a number hovering around it and visiting all the blooming flowers. Hummingbirds are so interesting to watch for this kid raised on the prairies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring has fully arrived and the gardens are full of colour.
