Some of my most favorite trees are Japanese maples. It is hard to tell from this photo but this tree is about 15 feet wide.
I am still planting the veggie garden. I put my celery in yesterday. Celery is one of my most favorite things to grow. Do you grow it too?
A new weathervane. This one is a crescent moon with three bats attached and one dangling.
I transplanted my chives from the raised bed to nondescript areas of the garden. I hope they make it! They were spreading too much in the raised bed and it was time to move them.
Someone tell me again how I am supposed to like dandelions. I keep forgetting.

I've given up growing celery - one plant that just does not grow for me.
Celery is one of few vegatables I tend to avoid :-) But I have chives and they'll make it anywhere no matter what :-)
I do like that weathervane!
Have a great day!

Teddy and her umbrella spot..:):)
We have HIGH winds today and all the umbrella's had to come down..and even then one crashed over! Ah well, I tried.
Never tried growing celery. I'll just watch yours grow..and share the pictures with DIL!
Well...as a herbalist I can tell you that dandelions are our friends. Their bitter leaves are mildly diuretic and very nutritious. The bitterness is just what we need in the spring to get our livers going after all the Winter carbs. The root is tinctured to make good medicine for the digestive system. The flowers can be used to make wine. So kiss a dandelion today!
I am a dandie liker too. How bout adding the greens to your salads?
So good for you!

We've never tried to grow celery, but that certainly does sound interesting. I hope your garden will do well.
Sorry my friend, but I happen to think that Dandelions are beautiful. When I lived in Melrose Park, IL., then known as "Little Italy", my best friend's mother used to pick them and make salads and Dandelion wine. I just love a yellow field of them :)

Dandelions... Well, they are kind of pretty. A nice bright, bright yellow. And even when they turn into puff-balls (of more seeds -sigh-), they are kinda' cute too.
'Course, at the rate yours are going, that area will be ALLLLL yellow or puff-balls, soon. -giggggles- So I guess you'd better learn to love 'em. Soon! -chuckle-
If you tell me you don't have a gardener..never..ever, I think I will just plain throw up my hands and address you as SUPER WOMAN JOYCE! :) I know you have the tree's trimmed..but that's a lot of yard to keep weedless although...you DO seem to stay on top of it and that's the secret.
I have this little old yard (just came in from spading a strip of flower bed, and I am half just all tuckered out! LOL
It's looking just fantastic, Joyce. Your blog is a favorite getaway for me..
Love to you,
Mona
