occasional verse #7

Equinox has come and gone,

Days are shorter, nights grow long.

Apple pancakes, golden hours,

Pomegranates, dahlia flowers.

Tis winter in a little while,

But Autumn mornings make me smile.

Le Printemps

Well, the blossoms are all blossoming, spectacularly so. Sadly my phone went flat before I managed to snap a pic of the weeping cherry, finally in flower, but I did get some pics of the magnificent pom pom poppies and the apple blossoms in full flight. Teensy baby fruit are appearing on the quince, as was a graft of an old French variety, thanks to the garden's grafting guru, Don. 

Oh, and we had a lovely baby broad bean and apple salad for dinner. Thank you, Spring.
