Peach Plum and Pear

 My one surviving peach tree is covered in blossoms. Some of the blossoms are so vibrant.

We're supposed to get frost this weekend so we got some plastic to cover the blooming fruit trees hoping to save the blossoms for some fruit to set.

This is my plum tree blooming; at least I think it's a plum. Maybe it's an apple; maybe a pear. If I get any fruit I'll know or once the leaves open I can tell.

These are flowering pear blossoms just about ready to pop open. These are Aristocrat variety (I remember what these are) with a more upright open growth habit than Bradford pear with less tendency to break branches in the wind or from ice damage. I finished the bisque and fired the glaze load yesterday. Today I'll unload the kiln and see how everything fared. Stay tuned for some finished work real soon. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
