May blossom?

Julian had done a good job of strimming the orchard, and we raked up the grass.

Lovely apple blossom in 'pink bud' stage on the 'White Melrose', and cherry 'Stella' in full bloom.

But what is Ellie doing with that stone? It appears to have a clothes peg stuck to it... Some of the young tree branches were weighed down to help the trees into develop the open framework needed to bear good crops of fruit.
