The beginning of a great thing.

No, it hasn't anything to do with a romance. It has to do with our front yard. We have been waiting for nicer weather to get out and bring the front yard to life. We realize that trees have to be planted right a way, they need time to plant their roots and become strong underground before doing anything great above ground.

So one pine and a crab apple tree were planted last year in our back yard. This winter another pine went in and now the dogwood in the front. We have a lot of work to do yet but wanted to show the progress. Hopefully in a few weeks the front will be planted and I can show what it looks like before all starts to bloom.

God Bless all those who travel through my little blog.

On a Walk

The library is not the only thing I am doing to help the feelings of loss. I am walking, it has always been a thing I have loved. But now I am taking longer ones finding things to take pictures of. So here is my favorite from yesterday.

I can't tell you what it is but plan to find out. I know it comes from a very big old tree and I feel sorry for the people who own the trees. If you have lived with oak trees you now how dirty they are. But these seed pods are about 3/4 inch in diameter and come down off the trees in large quantity.

I hope you enjoy the creepy look of the pod.

Have a great day to you all.
