Fruit trees in full bloom at Marr Haven

This is a view taken from north of the shop door. The cloud like white showing through the new green leaves of the trees beyond the driveway is a very old "winter keeper" apple tree that has many more blooms than usual.

In the fall the apples are as hard as rocks, we pick a couple of bushels to store in the tack room for the horses. The apples ripen after the first frost. The sheep will race to get the drops on the ground if they are let into this area then what is left falls during the winter for the deer and squirrels.

What a lovely picture! I grew up in your part of the world and miss the beautiful springs there.

Maybe you will have an opportunity to come back and at least, visit.
