As I have mentioned, life has been very busy with a graduate in the house and I have definitely fallen behind in posting some of the pictures I have taken this spring around the farm. I wanted to share this photo of the Prairie Fire crabapple tree outside our kitchen window. This tree is such a delight, particularly when it is in its full blooming glory in late spring.
I have posted pictures of this tree in the past when it was loaded with honeybees (Our Buzzing Crabapple Tree). Each spring this tree puts on an impressive show and it never disappoints. If you are looking for a lovely ornamental tree to add to your landscape, I would highly recommend a Prairie Fire crabapple tree.

I have missed your posts from the farmstead in Minnesota. I can understand your position. My son graduated May 26th.
