Pear Tree Blossoms

This is a blossom on our pear tree back in March. Now the tree is loaded with pears that should be ready in a few weeks. Looks like a bumper crop which is kind of surprising since we've been in such a drought. I think we'll be making a few pear pies soon. Can't wait!  I posted my favorite apple/pear pie recipe here.

For all the gods of the nations are idols,

but the LORD made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before him;

strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

Psalm 96:5-6 (NIV)
