Red fruits from white flowers


We have almost a whole holiday week now. Thursday was Ascension day and on Monday we have our National day. As we are spending most of the days at home I'm following the transformation in our apple trees. On a distance the tree looks light green but when I get closer I can see how the pink buds are developing to white flowers. But I guess that on Monday the whole tree will look totally white and hopefully attract a lot of insects so it will be possible for us to make an... 


apple pie or apple juice in the autumn. I think this is magic! But I was also surprised when I found these flowers in our garden....


already! We got some plants from a friend some years ago. She had found them on the land of an old farm school where they grew among the grass on a meadow. We planted our few but they have spread themselves and are growing like weeds. But that's not a problem at all. Because this weed is one of the most delicious that I can think of. They won't be ready for the Midsummer cake but maybe in the middle of July I will finally taste them... 


- Mmmm!
