Day 227: Cherry blossoms

Hello again,
Today I am thankful for the cherry blossoms which are so beautiful. We have cherry trees and they are all full of blossoms right now and just gorgous. I absolutely love them as well as the apple tree blossoms because they are so pretty. I am sure they smell wonderful as well but I can't smell. I love to take photos of them as well and maybe I can post a few photos on here if I get a chance. Today is a possibly a sad day though because snow is in the forcast tonight which could kill the blossoms. But I am thankful for them and for having the chance to enjoy them for what ever time I can. I just hope they don't die because then they won't produce cherries which would be really sad. I love watching the bees buzzing happily around the cherry trees-they must love cherry trees with so many flowers to visit! I thought about posting this today because I spent the past couple days taking photos of the cherry blossoms so they are obviously on my mind. :) I can't let cherry trees get all the attention though-apple trees in full bloom are an amazing sight as well. :) If you have never seen a fruit tree in full bloom, you are missing out. Other trees that get covered in flowers at our place are the saskatoon trees and honeyberry bushes. They are so beautiful as well. This is why I am thankful for cherry blossoms.

Cherry Jokes
Knowing that the Priest was very fond of cherry brandy, one of the church elders offered to present him with a bottle on one consideration: that the pastor acknowledge receipt of the gift in the church newspaper.
"Gladly," responded the good man.
When the church magazine came out a few days later, the elder turned at once to the "appreciation" column.
There he read, "The minister extends his thanks to Elder Lewis for his gift of fruit and for the spirit in which it was given."
