apricot on the wane
Shocked to notice the other day that the Apricot tree that was full of blooms a month ago has grown leaves on only a scant percentage of its branches. It's not looking good for this lovely thing. The pear across from it is thriving, though.
This is the book I've been getting the line drawings from - W.H. Wise & Co., Inc. New York, 1951. I found it under the hoop tree along with a book on metal working and plumbing from 1945. I assume they're out of print.
