I thought I would share a picture of our very old cherry plum tree. It always has a lovely show of blossom just before the leaves come out. The blossom only lasts for a couple of days so we all really enjoy the view.

That is so beautiful Aussie. I love Melbourne and would move there in a heartbeat.

Summer arrived in the tropics today :thumbdown:

Beautiful. Enjoy the season. Winter will be here soon and I am not really looking forward to it.
Hugs.
Deb

We have had a really cold winter in Melbourne this year so we are looking forward to a bit of warmth.

what happened to winter here in wa it has been very dry here.tho i must admit I like the warmer days.
love your tree

I'm jealous.
We're going into fall now.
I love the springtime. Maybe I should spend spring/summer in northern hemisphere then again in the southern, and just skip fall and winter totally?
Who'll put me up in Australia?

So pretty, its been a beautiful spring day here in Sydney - a perfect day for the local Spring Fair.

Perfect day here in Dalby - the weather is starting to warm during the day but can get cold at night still - we have had some rain but not as much as country Victoria - we dont want anymore here for a few weeks so hubby can finish painting the house

Oh my, your pic is so very inviting and peaceful. Thanks for sharing :-D

What a pretty picture. And what a beautiful day it has been here. Very happy, 2nd grandson arrived today. No one here can wipe the smile off their face.

Congrats on the grandson!
Waiting for photos.

Your yard is so peaceful and inviting. On the coast of South Carolina we really don't get much fall. Still hot and the flowers still blooming but, you can tell they are going into fall mode. Happy spring to you.

Lovely! :D

We're starting to cool down here, but in NC we get a blissfully long fall, with warm and cool every few days until December.

I'd love to have a cup o'tea on your patio...so pretty!

Hi Aussie Thanks for sharing your lovely garden with us... I live in the southern hemisphere and it is spring here too. Love the season... We had a terrible winter too. We had black frost and it touched most of the trees that have never been touched by frost before... But we are seeing new leaves and buds on most of the trees now... Our peaches and almond trees are in full blossom and of course the orange trees..... ciao

Beautiful picture!!

I am slightly jealous also but.... since it is a little cool here lately I am planning my first pot of chili for dinner tomorrow evening. We only eat it when its cool outside and its one of my favortie meals, soafter a LONG SUPER HOT summer I can not wait for the cool weather to come back!

Beautiful. I love the character old trees have.

I love your picture! Thank you for sharing it with us :D:D:D

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

We are going into fall. I love fall but your springtime is beautiful.

I love the old tree and your garden. Is that an Orchid Cactus in the tree? What color? I have one that is bright pink. It is finished blooming for now. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your spring.

How beautiful!

Your picture is beautiful, love the tree. Thanks for sharing.

Your yard looks so peaceful. A wonderful place to spend some quiet time.

Great Picture.!!!! I think we should all get together and charter a plane and visit that peacful, beautiful yard. We are going into Fall. But I like winter stuff anyway and Fall weather is sooooo nice and clean. Great quilting weather

Your picture is beautiful and although I love spring, our summer has been broiling so I am looking forward to fall and winter.

After a long, dry, hot, (most days high 90's to 105) Your picture brings thoughts of cooler days to come to South USA.
It is always humid here, which makes the heat index so much higher. Anyways, we have things to compensate for the heat, swimming, picnicing, and air conditioning. :P

Wow! You're getting spring!! Envy! I'm in Washington State. We're headed to Fall really fast, been chilly at night and that means Winter is just around the corner. Hubby has already been talking about stews and baking. Love your garden corner, really pretty.

Your picture is beautiful! I don't mean to sound stupid but exactly what is a cherry plum tree? A cross between a cherry and a plum or is it a small sized plum like a cherry tomato?

I enjoy reading about people and weather from other parts of the world. Our newsletter is better than the newspapers. Australia must be a wonderful place to live. If it wasn't so far, I would like to travel there. Enjoy your spring. Back in the eastern part of the USA, we are going into fall then the dreaded winter. I hear from the farmer's almanac that it is not going to be bad.

Great picture. We are getting ready for the fall here and for me it is very welcoming time. I don't enjoy the hot, humid summers we have here.

This picture is so warm and 'homey' I feel like you live right next door...

Love your tree... and the garden looks so peaceful. Spring has sprung here in Western Australia...some beautiful sunny days but really cold dry nights and mornings. As Litacats mentioned hardly any rain this winter, so I am mulching as much as I can so the plants will have half a chance of survival this summer. I think we are in for a long, dry time and with water restrictions getting more stringent I am planting more waterwise natives.

Oh boy I would love spring but here in the tropics we just get a wet and a dry season. I'm already thinking about turning on the AC, getting a bit humid in Far North Queensland

It has been a loverly spring day in McLaren Vale l decided to water my pot plants in the shade house (old clothes line covered in shade cloth) my quick invention when we moved in.
Lo and behold in my birdnest furn l have two baby birds and parents so l gave them a little drink.Elsie Blight

Wow Jackie that is beautiful, can't believe it's spring there, it's just cooling down going into fall here. I dread the winter. Do you have bad winters there?

Where are U exactly my best friend and her family moved there 3 yrs ago already they are in Queensland and have a beautiful home on the sunshine coast. It is funny because we are from Mich on the sunrise side of the state. Aunt Patti

I live in Minnesota and we are beginning to see the leavs turning red and yellow. It's a beautiful time of the year but I like spring better. Enjoy the blossoms.

Aunt Patti I am driving to the Sunshine Coast in 4 weeks. My daughter and best friend live there

Hi Aussie - Nice to have the sun out for a bit. Drought or no drought I've seen enough rain to last for a while.

Enjoy your spring blossoms - mine are a bit slower coming out but it won't be long.

Beauitful sunny day in Perth today ,I am so glad spring is on its way , our gardern is starting to come alive again.
Happy Sewing Cathy
