Maple blossom

I can’t believe how sick I’ve felt. But by the evening after dosing myself up on everything to hand I was not constantly wracked with coughing.

At one point I staggered to close the gates and took this picture of our wayward maples. Someone said these are sugar maples but I’m not sure. They are ornery shapeless trees and were planted on solid rock but they provide very welcome shade in the summer.
