Winter


I bought a house that needed a bit of work, and um, a LOT of yard work!!!  
I am going to post all the before and after shots here.  Stay tuned!

Tree groups.  I have found that I have Austrian Pines on my property. 
If you know these are not Austrian Pines but something else, please let me know!

There are three groups of trees that contain these Pines.  They are gorgeous.  
They grow a few feet then the 'bell out' into branches. 

I am also flooded with Buckthorn (Choke Cherry), Mulberries, two other varieties of 
pine trees, oaks, maples, etc etc.  I am in the process of 'freeing the pines!'  
Here are the before and after shots!

I actually removed a lot of weeds and vines
that were around the Austrian Pine on the
left before I took this picture.

This is only the right half of the before picture.


Can you believe this is the same view?  Unfortunately, the Buckthorn killed off a few of the pines branches.  Further cleaning is needed.

Believe it or not. There are three
Austrian Pines in here.

If anyone knows of crafty people that would be interested in pine cones... the Austrian Pine has the short fat ones!  I have LOTS of pine cones!

I also have pine cones that look like large cigars
and those tiny little hotdogs!
