It has been a wild couple of months. We have been colder than normal and I think most residents of International Falls are ready for some nice warm weather. I know I am and my garden is as well. The second summer we lived here we bought two apple trees. They bloomed that first year and haven't since. This spring both trees developed a few blooms, they were just beginning to come out when we've had three nights of frost warnings. I didn't want the blooms to freeze before they had a chance to become pollinated so we cut small plastic bags and attached them to the trees around the blooms. They didn't freeze so I am hopeful we will get a few apples this year.
I have also covered my tomato plants each night this week. We are supposed to only drop to 40 tonight so I'm not covering stuff. Here are a few pictures of the apple blooms.
I am home alone tonight and enjoying the house to myself. I'm doing some catch up work and enjoying some peace and quiet. Jeff is at a guys night in movie at Steve Sinclair's over in Fr. Frances and Rachel is helping at a friends dance recital in Ft. Frances.
Hope everyone is enjoying life and making the most of each moment.
