Signs of spring...

This post is a day late since we're having such crappy weather here today, but the last few days have been very nice & my Bradford Pear & Weeping Cherry trees have been blooming!
My sister-in-law got me this tree from the Arbor foundation maybe 8-9 years ago. It started out as a STICK! Its grown SO good & last year it had a few little blooms on it. This year it as really filled up! It's SO pretty! I love it!!




This is the weeping cherry tree in the front of the house w/ the landscaping. This will be the 3rd year for it & it's really coming along too!
I also got spring fever this weekend & hung out some of my deck bling. Lora also got me this wind catcher. It's a flower AND it's purple. My 2 favorite things!!!


I had to get a purple wind chime to match! ;-)

I'm dreading getting out in the landscaping because I have a gazillion wild onions in it & they are impossible to pull out w/ your hand! Plus, I am allergic to EVERYTHING (except food!) & last year when I put down mulch (all by myself, thank you very much!) I got really sick. I guess there was mold in it & I was down for a few days. I told Brad he was gonna have to help me this year & I'm gonna pull a Michael Jackson & wear a very stylish white mask over my mouth & nose so hopefully I don't get sick.
Who wants to bet that I end up doing it by myself? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?!
