Dale, Brant and Luke planted this flowering crabapple tree for me on Mother’s Day 3 years ago. It’s still pretty small but it’s lovely when it’s in bloom. Right now it’s thisclose to bursting into flower.
Happy Weekend, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Spring. That should cover all the bases, eh?
You covered it all. See you in one sleep!
Yep, you covered it. See you tomorrow!
Happy Weekend, Mother’s Day and Spring right back at you!
A lovely lasting gift that gives year after year….brilliant!
You are about a month behind us in blossoms…amazing. You’ll show it in full bloom, right? Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!
Beautiful!! Have a Happy Mother’s Day and a GREAT weekend!
Happy Mother’s Day Carole!
Happy Mother’s Day to you, too! Have a great time at NH S&W.
Have a great Mother’s Day and enjoy the festival too! 🙂
You covered it all. Happy evertything right back at you!
Happy Happy!
Beautiful! It’s funny, we’re about a week ahead of you. Or maybe that tree doesn’t get as much sun as ours? A fairly big white one in our back yard is in full bloom. We had nothing to do with it, it just sprang there.
I was just noticing all the crabapples ’round here on Wednesday — they are positively LADEN with flowers this year, couldn’t smush another blossom on the branch!
Happy Mother’s Day, Carole!
Back atcha! Enjoy:)
Right back atcha. 🙂
I need to take a picture of the flowering tree outside our house. I think it’s some kind of dogwood, but I’m not certain. It has tiny, hot pink flowers and is in full bloom right now.
beautiful, happy mothers day
What a lovely that just keeps on giving. 😀
Happy Mother’s Day, Carole!
Happy Mothers’ Day! Hope you have fun at the festival; I can see you have been busy making room for more stash acquisition and look forward to pictures of what you find. For some reason, I couldn’t scroll all the way down to post a comment below the fab spinning pictures, but I am VERY impressed with your productivity, grrl!
Have fun tomorrow! And Happy Mother’s Day!!
Love, love love flowering crab apple. The rose garden in the Fenway is surrounded by flower crab apple trees and they were just in bloom a few days ago. If you blink you miss the full flowering, but I was lucky to see it in full sunshine. It’s an amazing thing!
Fab picture. Happy Mother’s Day to you, too!
Happy Everything Carole! 🙂
I hope you’ll show more pictures when the tree blooms!
What a lovely and lasting gift, a tree! 🙂
The night after you replied to my commment of ignorance to what steamers were, I watched a movie with a scene where a young boy ordered steamers. I felt so smart when I knew what he meant. If I’d watched it the day before, I’d still have been clueless!
Happy Mother’s Day to YOU too. 🙂

The color of the leaves is really pretty – a reddish/greenish. What a nice gift for them to give you!
Happy Mother’s Day! :o)
Beautiful eye candy!
Happy Mothers Day Carole. I hope you have a beautiful weekend surrounded by those you love.
I love crabapple trees. I have a weeping crabapple in my front yard (also a mother’s day gift years ago) with buds just about ready to open into the lovliest flowers!
I hope you have a fabulous sheepandwool!
Ours is in full bloom. It hangs over the deck & I had coffee & knit under it this morning, breathing deep.
Hey, thanks for recommending The Thirteenth Tale awhile back. I’m a little over halfway through–I love it!!!!! (and I’m picky.)
Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Happy everything to you too!!
Hope you’ll take an after picture tomorrow when it blooms! Happy Day to you!
