Stroll Through The Yard

It's a beautiful day!

They are installing the carpet in our second bedroom. The house is a mess! Again! So I thought I'd get out and have a walk. It's a little claustrophobic inside. It's amazing how much stuff accumulates inside one small bedroom. The contents of that bedroom are now strewn about in every room of our house. You have to suck in your tummy to walk in our bedroom. The hallway is full and boxes of stuff are piled in the living room.

They need to have meetings called clutter-pack rats-anonymous for us people who tend to keep everything and don't want to throw anything away. Help!

But, thank goodness, it doesn't take much to bring a smile to a country girl.

Here are some of the things I observed while on my walk in the brisk spring air.

A flint chip I found while walking through our garden.
Most people wouldn't notice this, but I'm always
on the lookout for arrowheads and flint.

My poppies have arrived!

I love sycamore trees!
Most people aren't fond of them and when I planted this one
I got a few strange looks. But ours is beautiful! Even when it is bare.
It is the most perfectly shaped sycamore I have ever seen.

It's huge and it's branches soar upward to the clear blue sky.

A perfect climbing tree.

I love the beautiful mottled bark.
The tree grows so fast that the rigid bark
can't stretch to accommodate the growth of the wood underneath.

Do you have a favorite tree on your property?
