    Sixteen days after Easter: Am I weird?

    The dogwood we’ve been watching is slowly beginning to blossom!

    IT’S SO EXCITING TO WATCH TREES GROW!

    We have 11 guesses now as to how many days past Easter it will take our dogwood to reach full blossom.

    My Gemini optimistic alter ego lost when she said 11 days.

    Brad and Heidi both said 17 days — April 9.

    Cheryl said 18 days — April 10.

    My original guess was 21 days — April 13.

    Carolina Girl said 23 days after Easter — April 15.

    Steve G. said 24 days — April 16.

    Nancy said 25 days — April 17.

    Melissa said 38 days — April 30.

    Jeff from Linden said 40 days — May 2.

    Gabe said 51 days past Easter — May 13.

    What’s your guess? We’re guessing the number of days past Easter that our tree will reach FULL BLOSSOM, or, the point at which the majority of the blossom buds on the tree are all open to their fullest point. (These early blossoms shown today will be fallen to the ground by then.)
