More Color in my Yard

It amazing the things that bloom around here. Last year when we moved in, we had missed all the blooms, and blossoms and this year has been fun seeing everything bloom, so here are some more pictures of the "color" in my backyard. The purple tree on the left is a flowering plum, and the white blossoming tree is a flowering cherry, and thankfully they don't produce any fruit. The apple tree is hard enough to deal with.



This is a forsythia bush ( I think I spelled that right). It is so pretty and full of flowers.







and of course I had to throw in a picture of the tulips out back. I have a bunch more in the front yard, and I love them. I think the lady that used to own this house planted every color of tulip that there is, but I don't mind.
I do have a lot of work to do on the yard, but it will be nice when we are all done. But it will take years to get it how we want it. We have 4 overgrown pine trees, that I want to get rid of, so I can do a water feature and plant more flowering, non-fruit producing trees.
It's been in the upper 7os around here the last few days, so I hope you all are enjoying some very very nice weather too.

I love it when everything start to bloom! Yay spring is here!

Also, just to let you know that I paid for not having you do my papmered chef party. The consultant I had sucked! The next time I want to do one you'll just have to make a trip down here.
