Beautiful Spring





Spring is off to a wonderful start in our area.  The garden is blooming and the weather is lovely.  We've been enjoying times spent with the family.  The grands always bring great joy!

Spring was worth waiting for this year!



Wisteria with bumble bee


I have a love hate relationship with this wisteria!  I keep it in our yard for a couple of reasons



The above photo is reason number one!  The second reason is that it came from Grayden's childhood home.  My mother-in-law's wisteria was always lovely and my husband enjoys seeing it.  If you have wisteria you know how invasive it is.  It can be quite a problem.  Wisteria is known to climb many yards per year.  So to keep that from happening in our yard, we constantly have to prune the runners. It also will pop up in the yard where you don't want it.  Many plants have been given away.  I frankly get tired of it, but keep it for the above reasons.  We have one on each side of our driveway.  They are pruned to mainly be tree standards.


























It's such a beautiful time of year.  I hope you are enjoying watching the earth come back to life after a long winter!
