MY BEAUTICIAN SERVES LUNCH

Today my wonderful friend invited me over for lunch & a haircut.
For a variety of reasons I have not been to a salon for over a year.
I accepted this invitation, with enthusiasm, expecting a quick sandwich before heading outside for a trim.  My friend is an excellent cook, so she
prepared a beet salad, roast chicken & potatoes.  Her husband & son joined us, in the dining room for a lovely meal & conversation. 
What a nice surprise!

When we finished with lunch, we went outside to her patio to
repeat our monthly chore:  cutting my bangs.  This time she said
they look the best ever; & maybe her family will let her cut their hair.

My friend has a beautiful garden, which I have Blipped before, so I asked her to help me find a TINY TUESDAY photo.  She gave me a tour & I took many shots, but these tiny buds are my favorite.  Can you guess what they are?   Here is a hint:  they are from a flowering tree.

Check out my EXTRA if you need a better hint.  

Here's the answer:
they are flowers of a FUJI APPLE tree.  Last year she gave me a few
 & they are delicious.  The profusion of flowers on this tree,  should mean she will have many apples in a few month.
