Peach tree, 1888

 When Van Gogh moved to Southern France, Arles, he was enthralled with the blossoming fruit trees. Blooming even in the snow, the artist was inspired by the new growth. My garden does the same for me. I've decided to plant similar fruit trees in my yard, looks like I need an almond and plum, already having an apple, peach, and pear.
