Where I live: April🌸

Thanks to @busridetohelheim for tagging me.

Were I live i wake up to starlings, northern cardinals, and robins singing outside my window.

The smell of rain and lilac, the feel of mud on my hands. Bright green leaves on the maple in my yard, mom’s daffodils and tulips 🌷 . People pruning the vineyard behind my house. I can’t think of anyone else to tag, and I know it’s made but, what’s your April like?

The Amelanchier canadensis (service berry) are covered in a cloud of flowers. This deciduous shrub or small tree provides so much display value with good autumn colour as well blossom. After the flowers dark purple to black berries are produced which are very popular with the birds, I always thought my specimen was prune by pigeons and blackbirds.
