The very last pruning cut for 2016 😉 Just in time too as the apples will be in blossom within a week

The first of the cherry blossoms  

Baby apricots emerging from their shucks

‘Little Toot’ our frost-fighting tractor had another short run this morning, only the third time this season. She is so excited about the future big runs which I am sure are just around the corner.
The sound of “Little Toot’ working so hard to save our livelihood is always comforting to listen too, even if she pales in comparison with the big pump motors further up the Valley. She used to feel rather self-conscious about this but now accepts that her role is equally as important as the big boys 😉
Being only a short burst this morning, no ice was made but here’s a shot of “Little Toot” hard at work

The Black Doris plums are in full bloom

Gotta love nectarine blossoms 

I took these blossom photos this afternoon 

Just a wee drop of snow on the mountain range today….Back into my thermals 😉
