A touch of green


It's been unseasonably warm and quite a treat to be outside in some sunshine again.  Yea!  I noticed that a big juniper bush which I was afraid I might lose, is getting it's "green" back.  It appears it will survive.  Most all the others have not, so I'm thankful this on has made it.  It might be because it is on the southeast side of the house, instead of the north. 

So many people have lost junipers and pine trees, and probably, many like me, have had professional tree care people come in and help save what we have left from the drought conditions.  It will be interesting to see how everything looks once spring growth begins to break through.

  1. Good for you and the tree! We lost a really beautiful fir last year. Several stories high and in the front yard. .....I miss it

  2. It's so difficult to grow trees in our area. Glad yours is rebounding.

  3. Glad your juniper made it. We've had those in our yard and the bugs always decimate them. I hate using too much pesticide, so we picked different plants this year.

  5. It's warmer than usual here, too. Lots of daffodils and crocuses are in bloom. We also had a dry summer and have recently discovered a pretty big cedar tree that needs to come down. Sad, isn't it?
