The tree must have liked the extra water this winter, it's getting out of hand

Even though the grapefruit blossoms are fading, the buckeye is getting ready to burst! It smells lovely too.

Apple blossoms are done. Now I need to thin the crop, 2 apples max on a spur or the branches will break. Look at all the baby apples. Going to take me a week!

Pears on the pear tree, didn't check for cherries. Rain ruined the apricot blossoms, so another year without yummy apricots.
And my fig has doubled in size from last year.

We've been getting a lot more than I'm used to. We're four inches over average for this time of year. Guess it beats the drought we were in for so many years. Glad I got my riding mower to working.
Yes, mowing more than usual here too.
 
Okay, now I'm gonna brag. Not only was I taken our for lunch today, I got a pretty miniature rose and some cut flowers, and some chocolates! :p

And the best part is hubs planted several of my roses that have been in pots for too long. I took cuttings from an old rose at the farm. It was there when we moved in, and mom babied it and protected it from the deer, so they remind me of mom. He also planted some starts from roses his mom grew, so it's like a little memorial garden.
 
Thanks Pert. How was your day?
Wishing ! I am jealous. Never seen the pecker tree before and the rest of them look so healthy and yummy. You have the same color rose as Camping and Star just miniaturized. Lucky lady w/ all those gifts ! I would brag too
