Stinky But Pretty (April 8)

They might be stinky, but Bradford Pear trees are so pretty when they are in bloom. This was taken in our front yard. Our pear is slowly dying - a few years ago we had a hard frost in March and it darn near killed the tree. It is still clinging to life, but only about half-way, and Marty wants to cut it down. The kids love the pear tree because it has nice low limbs and they can climb up into it and act like monkeys. I know we'll have to eventually replace the tree, but for now, I do enjoy it when it's bloomin'. Even if it isn't the sweetest smelling blossom.
