The Cleveland Pear tree in our yard has lots of blooms this year. Last year they got zapped by a late freeze. They look so pretty in all the neighborhoods around here. One spring day when I was teaching, I was outside with my class for recess and we had many of these blooming trees on the school grounds. A good stiff wind blew and one of my students said, "look, it's snowing!" All the blossoms were blowing off and it did look like snow. I still laugh about that today. It took a good deal of convincing to tell this little guy that it was flowers, not snowflakes.
