We're having quite amazing weather here... in the 60s, but it'll be quite some time until the cherry trees are in bloom. We have a lot of wild chokecherry, elderberry, and wild cherry trees around the farm. There are also some trees... I think they are called Mooseberry trees... back in the forest at the back end of the property...They are really beautiful when they are in bloom. Big soft pinkish-white flowers with 5 petals... very exotic looking. I happened to be back in the forest when they were in bloom about 2 years ago. They grow in a sheltered area along a deep drainage ditch. Nearby there are coyote dens in the old mounds of earth that were heaped up when the ditches were made about 30 years ago. On the day that I was back there, the light was filtered through some black locust trees overhanging the ditch...and it was just full of hundreds of very large brown tadpoles... I kid you not...there were great schools of them swimming along in the golden-green light of the forest. And there was this beautiful tree all in bloom. I cut a few branches off of it and brought them home to put in a turquoise-coloured gallon-sized olive oil can in my kitchen... They were just...the best....
