Hedges and Crepe Myrtles

As some of you may remember, last year we had a great hedge massacre when our neighbor mistakenly thought our hedge was on his property and chopped it down!!!   I was very upset, to say the least.. LOL


BUT.......  the story has a happy ending.  These pictures were just taken and as you can see, the hedge has made a most wonderful comeback...It is blooming happily and has grown thicker since the cutdown..  That, my friend is the value of a very old landscape.  The roots of this hedge are so old and they were able to recover easily...  I am hoping that I can recover so easily when a setback comes in my life...  This emphasizes the need to have deep roots in my life...  So when someone cuts me down and thinks they have killed me..well, just you watch and see....these roots are deep and this girl can comeback in very unexpecting ways...

And then, we have our crepe myrtles...Some of them are ancient...some of them are just a few years old..
All of them are beautiful...

I will have to tell you about all of our redbirds next time..We have a family of them and have watched them grow up..One of them sits on the bird feeder and eats and eats..he is there right now as I type this blog.. I can see 6 redbirds at our feeders eating lunch..  LOL  I surely look forward to their visits everyday..

Well, that's enough for today..
Thank you for stopping in.  I hope this day is going well for you.....

Love,
Mona

February Fotos

Since it is the LAST day in February, I thought I would catch up with all of the pictures that I never posted...

So, bear with me..it is a random ride this morning....hedges, dogs, and grandchildren

First an updated picture of the decimated hedge row from last fall...Here is what it looks like today...so happy that it survived and seems to be thriving..even though we have had extreme temps this winter...

Hang on...first up...... some of our grandchildren spent the night with us earlier in the month..

Some played in the bathtub while big brother watched football with Poppy..

Next morning posing..

Now for some Tula action.....

Just a few more weeks of weather suitable for afternoon coffee with whipped cream...

Then we are on to the greener pastures of spring planting and warmer temperatures... I have loved seeing our green garden area all winter..over planted with rye...

I feel better now that I halfway cleaned out my unshared pictures and got them out here for you to see..

Next month is my BIG 4 year anniversary since I wrote my first blog....so I have a lot to say then...

Thank you for stopping by..

Love,
Mona
