Spring Cleanup Continues

Got the grass mowed finally!  (Never got the last cut in last fall.)

Took out the trees along the north side of the house - a hickory, and the other maybe was an elm?  They were surprisingly big - more than 4" diameter.

Turned over the back bed. I took the invincible tulips and put them inside the fence in a line along the back.

New roof tomorrow!

Spring Blooms

Apple blossoms against my house

Dogwood

Green and Gold, which has settled right in

Poppies and Bluebells

Lilies bought this year

I wanted to capture the shade of red for reference

This brave little oak tree is the designated successor to the silver maple that had to come down. It's a volunteer from the big oak and I've been nuturing it for a couple of years.

Some kind of carex?

The native carolina vioet

Camassia

These are total volunteers (the dandelion came out).
