Promises of spring

There are buds on the branches of the apple trees today at Hutchins Farm in Concord, Massachusetts. A line of younger apple trees is visible in the distance. ¶ 

After a week of sleet and snow, yesterday's eclipse seemed to mark a change in the weather and the start of spring. ¶ 

The end of a bare branch bears buds.
Best buds

In my first photo, a white strip in the background marks the location of a line of newer fruit trees.

  1. Some beautiful looking bud sets on your trees. How old are the trees and what types of apples are you growing?

    1. Not my trees, they belong to Hutchins Farm, which has an eclectic collection of apple varieties
