Plum Blossoms

 The plum tree right outside our front door is in full bloom!  It has thousands of beautiful pink blossoms and gives off a wonderful smell.  The kids love playing around and under this special tree.  There are rocks, leaves, sticks, snail shells, and tons of other "nature stuff" to collect under there.  Plus now there are bees and butterflies all around, which Bran especially loves.  This afternoon Tim and the kids laid a blanket out under the tree and spent a long time soaking it up.  It was in the mid-seventies today!  Our friend and neighbor Elke came out to join them, and she took these beautiful pictures with her fancy camera.
