The Best of Times and the Worst of Times.

4-7-23 SHORT HILLS: A total of 16 ash trees came down. They have been cut up, chipped and the trunks, too big to chip, have been trucked away. The machinery is out of the yard. That section of the yard needs grading, top soil, grass seed and water.


Meanwhile spring is happening. Blooms are blooming. Flowers are flowering.


New blooms: pear tree, Yoshino cherry, quince, pulmonaria, saucer magnolia.

Yoshino Cherry in white with the faintest tinge of pink.
More Yoshino.
Yoshino flowers and a pinkish bud.
Quince flower looks a lot like the cherry flowers.
Saucer magnolia might be my favorite spring tree.
The big crane in the middle of the yard.

What the yard looks like now. Mazie is not pleased.
What the yard looked like a year ago. Apologies to Dickens about the title I used.
