Front entry in bloom
A new tree
An early birthday present: a new lacebark elm to replace a tree that died, and match the lacebark elm we planted here two years ago. Beautiful tree––with a birthday ribbon still on it.

| UPDATE: The new tree inspired window washing and open curtains inside. |
In praise of Thuja Green Giants
When we planted these Thuja Green Giant arborvitae trees less than 5 years ago, all 7 of them came in one little box. We were underwhelmed. Now, they are *this* close to offering the privacy, shade and windbreak we envisioned when we planted them. They've been beautiful, easy-care trees and we highly recommend them. (We put 4 on the north end of the yard, and 3 on the south. Those on the north are slightly taller, but they've all done well.)

Perfect spring day
Bleeding Hearts are back!
After two years thinking we'd lost the Bleeding Hearts, we walked out one day to discover they were back and blooming beautifully! Such a unique plant. I'm glad we didn't really lose it.
