Broken Branch Alert.

6-15-09 SHORT HILLS: I drove down yesterday leaving rainy Vermont for rainier New Jersey. The National Weather Service says we have had almost four inches of rain at Newark Airport for June, so far, with more expected tonight.

We have a huge branch hanging over the yard broken off from a walnut tree. It reaches the ground from about twenty five feet up the tree and is probably a foot across at the top. It is crushing a bunch of shrubs, mostly forsythia and viburnums. Frank’s Tree may be here tomorrow to take it down.

New blooms: elderberry, rose.


What's prettier than a rose?

Clematis have such vivid colors.
