When I moved into this house, there were two crabapple trees in the front yard. They're still there, but I've given them no special treatment.
One is a rather ordinary red-leafed crabapple, whose flowers have been bashed by recent winds. The other holds spherical pink buds, then bursts into double flowers.
I prefer the native vegetation and haven't been watering these two regularly, but they are blooming gloriously.
And now I have to get back to deciding on my itinerary and making hotel reservations.
