Before & After

One dreary November day we had three large trees removed, in the course of taking down one,
a large Magnolia was literally cut in half...all the branches pointing west (more or less)

I am  happy  the Magnolia survived.
Happy Friday,
gudrun

More garden

These pictures tell a better story. This is just an awesome tree, it never fails to delight.

What it looks like now.

On April 6th we had about 8 inches of heavy wet snow. Is it not amazing what happens in just four weeks.  Today, there are daffodils, forget-me-not, cherry blossoms, magnolia blossoms, dandelions, forsythia, bleeding hearts,  & hyacinth.  And that is only the list of what is blooming.  There are also the edibles like garlic chives, onions, and rhubarb.  I made the first two rhubarb cakes of Friday. Yum.
