We have tiny peaches on our peach trees, and the apple trees and blueberry bushes are blooming.

Nickie <> That looks about like magnolia blossoms budding out. You might want to knit a few little sock caps for them. Can you say "Lake Effect?"

oh, that is a LOVELY photo!!

I never did get around to planting my crocus and hyacinth bulbs last fall in fact, they are sitting over there on the shelf right now, making me guilty.

I hope they are still good for planting

All of the rest are either forming flower buds or just beginning to bloom. Magnolias here have already bloomed and faded away.
