Spring Flowers


The flowering bushes in our yard are in bloom finally. The top one is a bush we have behind our garage. You can't see it from the house but as you round the backside of the garage is this beautiful bush with dark red leaves and white flowers. Could not resist taking a picture while it looked so beautiful!



This picture is the lilac bushes lining the north side of our driveway. Our original plan for planting them there was to block the side entrance of our neighbors house. The house is very close to our driveway (you can see the gray siding) and used to be a duplex with renters going in and out the side door. That was about 20 years ago. They now make a nice border though the house is no longer used as a duplex and that door is rarely used. They do make a beautiful statement, both visually and by scent, when they are in bloom.

Spring us sprung!

Spring has finally sprung in my small town. I will post some pictures this weekend of the flowering trees and shrubs. It's been a long time coming!
