Goin' Green

Today's Spring post is dedicated to green...trees and bushes, that is! Pretty much all of our bulbs are history. We had 90 degree temps last week and it killed them. Today I mowed the lawn and decided we would celebrate green. These are blossoms on one of our apple trees in our "back 40". I think it is pretty and it isn't even open yet :-) Plus, I like the pink!

Blackberry bush before all the good fruit makes its way to a homemade pie by Beth.Our one and only lilac bush that actually blooms, they should be open soon! Yippee! Of course Tom doesn't think so, they bother his allergies.

My weeping cherry tree, this is the first year it has bloomed since the children gave it to me for Mother's Day three years ago. Sorry it isn't focused.

We planted a row of poplar trees along the east side of our house. They have grown leaps and bounds since we planted them. We can't wait until they form a hedge along the property line.
And last but not least, this little evergreen tree is one of my favorite. It was on the property when we bought our house, and it was just a tiny little thing. Now it is taller than Tom! It looks great decorated at Christmas.

I hope you have enjoyed our "green" post! I love Spring and the reminder of new life!
