In Eastern Massachusetts today a clear blue sky and 63 degrees. The fruit trees My yard, plum, apple and pear and other flowering trees now have blossoms. The peach tree would have but a cold spell as the blossoms come earlier than the other trees took that out which may mean little or no peaches this season.
