Yard Work

I have been spending a lot of time in the yard enjoying the warm weather. 

Joe decided it was time to take out the pear trees.  They haven’t been doing good for several years and had gotten pretty ratty looking. 

It was a big mess to clean up. 

But Joe stuck with it and got it done.  I am expecting the flowers there will enjoy the extra sunshine. 

I finally got my grapevine globes reinforced.  They should make it through another season. 

And I had vines left over for a couple more wreaths. I don’t really know what to do with all the grapevine wreaths I have made. 

And a few more things are blooming. The forsythia bushes look nice for now. 

And the hyacinths are pretty.  But with the cold weather on the way they may not last long. 

Any you can’t really tell from here but the crocuses that I planted to naturalize the bank are blooming. It is a nice little extra for the yard. 

Close up they are very pretty. 

I think I will get more to plant this fall.
