My apple trees have very few blossoms on them this year. Last year they
were loaded, this year next to nothing. I'm in the mid Wilammette Valley,
Oregon. Anyone else in the Northwest observing this?

Some apple varieties have a strong tendency to develop a pattern of
alternate year bearing. Your big crop last year set you up for a small
crop this year. Extra fruit thinning may be advisable next year, in an
attempt to break the pattern.
