I adore apple blossom! Whenever apple trees bloom I remember my student years and this song, which I adore too. So, every spring I feel very young and happy again :)
When I was a final year student, I stayed with a very kind old lady. She lived in a small house with a beautiful tiny garden, in a quiet narrow backstreet. There were many apple trees along that backstreet. In May, when they were all blooming, and the sun was sending its tender warm beams to earth, it was a great pleasure to walk along the street to the accompaniment of the buzzing bees.
Every spring, blooming apple trees remind me of my youth, of Poltava, a town dear to my heart, and of my good late hostess Maria Andreevna, whose tiny garden was her real passion and a local showplace.
