Its almost NOON!!
I finally finished planting all the flowers I bought the other day.
I might get more I haven't decided yet if I want to or not.
OHHHH the big decision.
I had three little plants left and didn't want to put them in the ground so I thought why not add them to a basket just to see how that works out, what a mess I made doing that, LOL so now I have to go out and buy peat moss to go around the edge to hold the dirt in.

The Joys of being a gardener. But the end reward is always worth it.
It doesnt look like much but after the peat moss and a ribbon top it will look so adorable.
I snapped a few pictures of some of our tree and thought I would share them.
Spring is always a happy time for me with all its new beauty.
Here are a few of my trees.
That's my High Maintenance Weeping Willow.
Its a pretty tree and we were going to have it cut down because of all the work it causes, raking up twiggs and leaves way in to December.
I chickened out and just couldn't do it.
The birds and squirrels love this tree.
This one is a Silver Maple
I have it shaped up pretty nice.
An easy one to care for.
Here is my Red Maple
We had it planted two years ago.
It will be a while before it's really mature.
Red Maples are beautiful trees when mature.
Red Maples have a special meaning to me.
That's why we had one planted.
And finally our beautiful Honey Locus
A very pretty tree and I have it shaped up really nice.
The best I could.
I don't like trees that block my view its a crazy thing I have.
I like to be able to look our and see
not be blocked by tree branches hanging way down..
I guess that comes from living in a big city all my life and all you could see was your garage the neighbors garages and the alley. Our house didn't have a front porch we had a side entrance so we had no choice but to have a patio built and sit in the back.
I m grateful we at least had the airplanes to watch come in for a landing or taking off into the sky to there next destination.
Of course not the actual take off but once they were a few 100 feet up in the air.
That was pretty cool.
