Took the photo of the swans somewhere. lol Then added a Daily Texture background for this one.
I’m getting closer to being done with Huntress Unleashed. I’m working on proofing the beginning again and will do that throughout the book so that I can catch mistakes and see what things I mentioned but then never followed up on.
So this week is spring break–which means I’m having trouble figuring out which day of the week it is. Usually, I have my grandson two days, pick up my granddaughter from school afternoons five days a week, and so that keeps me grounded.
Do you ever feel that way when you’re off your regular schedule?
But I am trimming trees and removing weed trees in the backyard. Though the youpon holly tree (a weed tree that I let grow for privacy) is full of flowers and that means honeybees. So I was trimming up underneath it to allow for more light to the rosebush and purple magic crepe myrtle below it. I’m keeping the top of the tree that rises maybe 6 feet above the 6 foot fence. I also have a ton of weed crepe myrtles, so I’m trying to keep some, but trim the branches that criss-cross, so I have just a multiple main trunk. I DO NOT top the trees which ruins the look of them and weakens them. I’m cutting others down that are just growing up everywhere. They have such beautiful flowers and all of the trees are starting to leaf out.
Youpon hollies are kind of unruly trees, growing oddly, not just straight up, but I love them for their tiny white flowers in the spring, tiny evergreen leaves, shade in our hot Texas sun, and hardiness in this area. The crepe myrtles provide shade also and a nice leafy barrier. When I first moved here, I only had 3 pine trees in the backyard, and one died so I had to have it removed. They were native to the forest that had been here. So there wasn’t really any soundproofing. Now with all the vegetation I have, it’s much more soundproofed I’ve noticed. My burford holly that had been under the front windows I moved when they were little and they are now over 6 feet tall against the back fence. That provides a lot of noise reduction.
I’m off to work. Hope your day is fun-filled!
