Orchids

Since I do the mowing on this place, I ain't necessarilya flower patch lover. Nor do I think trees belong anywhere but in the woods. But my really significant Other spent three days planting over a thousand bulbs a couple of weeks ago...
 

I wish I had a nickle per daffodil.
 

That's  Morgan Freeman's south gate across the road.
 

The hundred and fifty year old pear tree. Every year my wife says it's the last year for it. It has never agreed.
 

Its blossoms are laughing.
 

The driveway.
 

My old friends, the red berry trees in the pasture. The itty bitty yellow gong hangs between them. Off camera at left would be the 280 yd armor plate gong.
 
 
 
 

Come on, admit it, you're really not a grouch and you love beautiful flowers and trees! Chris S

I think they are like beautiful women. They're nice until you have to do something with them. Then they're a PIA. The flowers look nice until the end of March when I have to start mowing. Then, I know I will get my ass chewed every time I go out because I nicked some flower on the edge of a bed. I dream of firing up the diesel Grasshopper and just smoothing out the yard.

And, it will do it, too. The only thing I would criticize is that the cupholder is too shallow. My beers keep falling out.
I do my deep thinking while I'm swooshing around on this.

OK, OK, you got me... I let my better half do the mowing so I can't get hollered at. Chris S
