June 1: Peach Tree

The month of May brought plenty of blooms and green to my backyard.  The blossoms on the fruit trees were particularly lovely.

As the month wore on, despite the lack of rain, my peach tree leafed out.

The delicate pink blossoms grew into the start of fuzzy-skinned peaches.

There was heavy rain last night and more is expected this week.  My garden and I will be glad to have it.  The month of June always sees plenty of growth in the garden, as the leaves expand and Summer’s heat arrives.  In just a few days, the school year will be over and I’ll have more time to enjoy the outdoors and all the lovely things in my backyard. That’s just peachy!
