Apple Blossom Time

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN APPLE BLOSSOM TIME
(Neville Fleeson / Albert Von Tilzer)

I'll be with you in apple blossom time.
I'll be with you to change your name to mine.
One day in May, I'll come and say
Happy the bride the sun shines on today.
What a wonderful wedding there will be.
What a wonderful day for you and me.
Church bells will chime,
You will be mine,
In apple blossom time.


When a little girl, I would sing this song standing on top of the pump-house overlooking the pasture and the lovely little valley behind our farm. Twenty years later I was married in May but did not remember the seeming harbinger of my wedding day.

The picture was taken early June (nature always a bit slower in the UP) in the orchard of Betsy and Ed's farm next to our place in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
