This looks like renegade phlox, but none of the staid, civilized phlox is blooming yet.
Tiny pinecones! They’re all about the size of the tip of my thumb. I saw one baby one, smaller than an eraser on a pencil, but I couldn’t get a picture of it.
Happy Spring, Northern Hemispherers! Happy Fall, to those of you in the South!
Hahahaha no! I’m in Iowa, with no servants it’s a house in a fanciful old neighborhood, all the houses here are a little goofy. It’s under 2000 sq ft. They built it to look like a fairy tale cottage. We picked it out for the cute
I’ll take pictures of my neighbors’ houses sometime. The neighborhood was built in the 1900s - 1940s. My house was built in 1938. It was a silly time in house architecture.
No kidding. The main branches are cabled, but we’re going to have to get someone in to see if any others look like they’re coming down. We’ve been hit by branches the size of baseball bats before, but nothing like this. I think this one was over 15 feet long.
The people who lived here before us had the major limbs of the trees secured to the trunk with steel cables, so they wouldn’t fall on the house. I’d never heard of it before we bought this house.
Wow! What a beautiful garden! Mine is just a pine needle covered mess right now. And our bulb flowers are sprouting but not blooming yet. Thank you for sharing your blessings…although I’m sorry about the oak branch!
I have all of next week off of work for Spring break and I can’t wait to clean up and start projects in the yard! I’ll post pics as things come alive. The three fruit trees already bloomed-out…
