...for this year.
April 2009
I popped out this morning for a toasted cinnamon bagel (an all too regular weekend treat) and stopped in the park on the way home to enjoy the last of the blossom. There's much more green than white on these trees now.

So summer really is here. Shame that the temperature's only 11 degrees and there's rain forecast for later. But the sun was out briefly this morning, the bagel was delicious, the blossom sweet, and this afternoon I'll just curl up with my book and listen to the raindrops hit the windows... Still sweet.

I can just about smell those blossoms :)
Rain pouring down here right now. Was sticky humid all day, and just as the sun went down, it's started to rain. Love rainy evenings, curled up with a book.
Looking up into the blossoms - so delicate and fragrant and beautiful especially knowing their show is so fleeting.
What better way to spend a rainy spring morning than with cinnamon and a great book (which by the way is set just 40 minutes from where I grew up!!).
Beautiful blossoms! I am still in Venice- blossoms are few but Venice is what it is and blossoms have no room to really grow. Laptop works when it wants to. Cheers! thinking of you!
Beautiful blossom pictures, it is such a fleeting thing isn't it? I am enjoying your sweet posts and the thought of a cinnamon bagel is tempting!
I dressed up this morning in tights, boots, jacket, longsleeved shirt and scarf(and a skirt-otherwise I would have looked weird!). By the time I had finished all my various bits and pieces I was boiling! I suddenly thought the summer is here last night when I realised it was still light at 9 o'clock.
By the way-I think you have summed Lily up perfectly with the word goofy! She tries so hard but often loses her dignity by rolling off of things by mistake. I think cats get embarrassed when they do something stupid and then they act all aloof.
Enjoy your afternoon with your book!
Hello there from France and thankyou for dropping by my blog today, I shall be resuming my Chateau story tomorrow! I was looking at the sea'scape in your winday day picnic, and it looks familiar- perhaps devon coast? I left England nearly 20 years ago! Your pictures of the falling blossoms are so beautifully delicate, it's sad to see them disappear! I shall follow your blog,reminds me of home I live Stephen Fry too!
this post is so full of goodness and your last one was, too - it reminded me of little picnics i used to have alone, back in my single days, at an arboretum with a beautiful lake.
YUM to the cinnamon bagel - i love little delights like that :)
How fun to see that you still have blossom. Ours was gone about two weeks ago already. But than again we got it earlier. Have a great weekend, I'm gonna look into that book of yours now. I saw on Beverly's blog it's in the area of Pudget Sound, I love it there. CU
BEAUTIFUL flowers!!!
your photographs are gorgeous! it's that way here too...the green has taken over. still beautiful in its own way, but not as celebratory as the blossoms.
enjoy the weekend!
...so big and so many! what a happy place to munch....thanks for sharing these magical blossoms!
don't those blossoms look like fairies' frocks ~ discarded after an evening of dancing, while their owners sleep away the day.
We are lazing about doing very similar things to you today. Thinking of you...
