That is really a pretty yard with the flowering bushes & the geranium plants. The lady is 93 years old & still out there gardening. I say good for her she has a green thumb for sure. :) Your trimming things up really makes it look even nicer.:cool:

I spent most of Wednesday cleaning weeds from our back patio the North side of the house and the front sidewalk,the only thing I can't do is prune the Maple tree,too high and I am afraid of heights.

It looks like a fairly young variegated maple tree in one of the pictures.

You do great work & the houses with the flowers & neatly clipped lawns look so inviting especially after the long winter & now the flowers & bushes are blooming. :)
