2026 Fringe Trees

 Are in bloom!

White Fringe Tree

Japanese Fringe shrub

These are becoming my favorite trees

Maple Seeds!

 This is why our gardens aren't just open to 

public so you can just visit.  We never know

what they yard will look like in the morning!

5/2/2026

 It should look like this:

3 hours to vac up the garden beds and 

deck.  Then re-mowing the north lawn

again

5/3&4/2026

Again same as above.

5/5&6/2026

More of the above!  Hopefully

with the wind tonight they will

all be down.  Back to the roof

in the morning.

5/7&8/2026

More of the above and still

coming down.

5/9&10 /2026

The third week of more of the

above, my daily task to remove

all the seeds and less ants.

5/11,12,13,&14/2026

More of the above and a few days

of twice a day to keep the seeds

off the yard and the ants away.

5/25/2026

Finally the maple seeds have

let up but now we are dealing

with the tree that is dying.

This is now all over this area.

The only way to remove is to mow, with 

gas prices so high!  Yep we are mowing.

We have seen two of their trees fall on

their house already.  Plus when they removed

trees a couple years back they wanted

to use our yard to take them down.  That

isn't going to happen during any season!

They stated the maple trees would come

down but no!  We have roots in our yard

from all their trees that were planted on

the fence line.  They are starting to move

our fence and we have removed roots

that were all the way to our house.

Yes, we have limbs almost to our home, 

as the trees lean our way.

 Just hanging out on the deck this

am!  I have a friend!

Just breath taking!!

2026 Mardi Gras Azalea

 

sport:

This was given back to us when we purchased

an azalea that was for my grand father's funeral.

After 10 years babying this shrub she is really

showing off this year.
