Pommes et mimosas

We have an apple tree in our backyard!

When we were first looking at the house, the tree was blossoming and we thought perhaps they were pomegranates (we are sooooooo botanically-challenged) but it turns out they are, in fact, apples.  Right now they are doll-sized and green and I can't wait to give Anika a taste when they're ripened in a few months.

We also have mimosa trees in our backyard.  I am not making that up; my friend's sister who lives here said, oh, you guys have mimosa trees! and I realized that our Dr. Seuss tree is, in fact, a mimosa tree.  Sadly, unlike the apple tree, it does not produce its own namesake.
