Spring Update...First Buds













 
Spring is finally underway here in Moldova.  I wanted to share with you some of the breathtaking first buds of the season.  The apricot trees are some of the first ones to blossom.  I was standing by a blossoming tree and it was humming.  I actually could hear the honey bees working like crazy to pollenate those flowers.  It was like the hum of a high power line.  Director Sergio had the troops out in force this week around the center planting flowers.  Everyone was glad to be outside in the sunshine a new warmth.  We did some planting at home too in the house flower garden.  A couple of new cherry trees and some extra grape vines and of course the trandafirs (rose plants).  Oh, I included a close up of an actual Moldovan dandelion.   Hmmm.  Pretty familiar, eh?  The ducklings have hatched.  And the chicks of a few weeks ago were ready for the outdoors now.  And I have finished my second 500 piece puzzle here in Moldova.  April showers will bring more flowers.

  1. Your Moldovan spring is way ahead of Wisconsin! Our grass is turning green but we are still wearing winter coats. Even eye-strain does not make buds appear on the trees. But the sun came out today, in defiance of the dreary weather forecast.

    Enjoy the warmth of that sun! May your fruit trees grow!
