~ OF BUDS AND BLOOMS ~

Description

Isn't that what most people look
forward to after enduring the long
cold months of winter?
The Buds And Blooms of Spring!!!
They come in many colors, shapes
and sizes. Many with glorious
fragrance to go along with their
delicate features. Many without
any fragrance at all, but their
beauty is just as powerful!
These delicate beauties belong to
bushes that are found growing
in the sandy hills of the Kansas
landscape....Sandhill Plum bushes
as the locals call them. In the
coming months, they will bear delicious
fruit that is usually made into
wonderfully tasting jams and jellies!
Excellent with your morning toast
or even on the biscuits of your
evening meal, complimenting the
flavors of each entree'.
But first one must enjoy the
Buds And Blooms first!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!
