Apricot Tree

I was so excited today when I saw the apricot tree was beginning to bloom. Not because I like apricots, because I don't, but simply because we have an apricot tree and what good is a fruit bearing tree that doesn't bear fruit? When we got this house (Summer before last) there were apricots all over the ground and some still in the tree. But this last year there was very little fruit and what little fruit there was, was hanging all on the other side of the fence in our neighbors yard! So I am thrilled to see signs of life sprouting from each branch in this tree. It's just beautiful and it's only just begun! Who knows? Maybe I'll be passing out bags of apricots this year!
