As a young child I grew up singing this song every spring. And still to this day whenever the white blossoms appear on the trees I burst out with this song. It was written in 1924 by a sweet lady by the name of Georgia W. Bello while looking out her window one spring morning at her lovely apricot trees that had just burst into blossoms she was inspired to write her thoughts.
The words to this simple and joyful song are:
“I looked out the window and what did I see?
Popcorn popping on the apricto tree.
Spring has brought me such a nice surprise,
popcorn popping right before my eyes.
I can take an armful and make a treat.
A popcorn ball that will smell so sweet.
It wasn’t really so, but it seemed to be . . .
popcorn popping on the apricot tree.”
*Note to myself . . . remember to make time to notice and ENJOY the little things like popcorn on apricot trees and all the other beautiful blossoms.

Note to self….remember Trina’s note to self! 🙂
Are you just loving the Spring (finally)? Thank you for dropping by and the cute note.
What fun. A lovely song to teach the kiddos, just what they like and I think it will trigger the imagination. ..Although here I will have to call my flowering pear an apricot tree! Thank you for the simple pleasure and the reminder to always see the magic around us. And your outfit is very nice.
You’re so wlecome, and thank you for dropping by. Would love to see those flowering pears some day.
Gorgeous post my dear … and you know I’m going to love your gorgeous necklace!! I also can’t wait to see what you and your daughter do with your vintage brooch necklaces!! Keep me posted!
Will you keep you posted for sure. We also look forward to purchasing some of your wonderful creations.
That beautiful view, that beautiful tree and beautiful photos. The explosion of spring, also on your shirt, that cute! I love your outfit, so delicate and beautiful.
Yes, spring is exploding and isn’t it just wonderful?
I’m in love with that necklace! What a vibrant, beautiful outfit! 😉

Thank you Alicia, my necklace was a lucky find at an antique store on the Oregon coast.
Fabulous outfir – your T-Shirt and necklace are amazing together and you paired them with those cool trousers!
After our very long winter my tulips aren’t blooming yet. I love the pink and purple colours and I always have all sorts of flowers in exactly those shades on my patio.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! This is how I found yours even before I went through Patti’s links today.

Thanks for dropping by Annette, hopefully those tulips surprise you soon. It’s such a wonderful sight to wake up to.
Love some blossoms … the tree, the necklace and the peony! All pretty, but you look a little chilled! That’s optimism! Go Trina!
Ha, you noticed. Yes, I was actually freezing. Here in the Salt Lake Valley they say we can experience all four seasons in one day, Saturday was one of those.
Hi Trina, I found a treasured bracelet in Cannon Beach years ago. I don’t know if it’s being on holiday that opens up the window to such sweet finds, or if Oregon is a special little jewelry mecca. Probably a bit of both. And I was going to comment about you looking freezing as Jan did above. I want to wrap you in a warm blanket and make you a hot chocolate!
Now, to the meat of the post! Beautiful blossoms. The analogy of the popcorn is surely going to stick with me. Such a lovely little song!

I’ll take you up on the hot cocoa. So glad you enjoyed the fun analogy and song.
Yay, Spring! It’s about time, isn’t it? I love your graphic tee. It’s always fun planning an outfit around one. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Love your song and photos. So spring. Makes you happy. Listened to the song as well. Being Dutch I have never heard it before but it sounds very cheerful.
Especially like your shoes in this outfit (you look a bit cold in spite of the spring).
I’m so glad to hear I made you happy. And, yes, it was a bit chilly that day.
