They’re opportunistic at the very least

Posted on April 5, 2013 by cyetso

They’ll grow just about anywhere. Like in cracks in the sidewalk –

opportunistic

Gotta give ’em credit.

Then, rip them out of wherever they may be, and OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Thanks,

The Mgmt.

Rains came back today –

May flowers

We’ll have to wait and see if they bring Mayflowers as promised.

And what do Mayflowers bring?

While the sun is still shining

Posted on April 3, 2013 by cyetso

Supposed to rain tomorrow, probably best to get the sunny flower photos today. I’ve been led to believe these are future tulips –

 

What have we here?

What have we here?

 

Possibly another?

Possibly another?

 

We’ll have to check back and see what they turn into.

Stay tuned….

More colors of Spring

Posted on March 29, 2013 by cyetso

On another perfect Seattle afternoon –

 

Camelia blooming

The Cameila in the front of the house

Color pop

More of these, but not the shot I want

 

So there’s that. Supposed to be nice for a few days. Golf in the AM, maybe a motorcycle ride in the afternoon, some yardwork Sunday – Yup, Spring here, kicks ass.

Chamber of Commerce special

Posted on March 28, 2013 by cyetso

Just the afternoon though, the morning was a bit of a mess. The Cherry Blossoms responded in kind –

 

Cherry Blossom Special

 

They shed something wicked, and I’d not like to have one, but they sure are nice to look at in some of the neighborhoods around here. I’ll see about getting a better shot over the weekend.

As predicted

The rains returned. The daffodils out by the driveway are loving it –

 

Rainy daffodils

 

Also saved me from watering the mud/seed/slime concoction that is the yard. So I got that going for me.

I’m tired. And sore.

Posted on March 24, 2013 by cyetso

So golf was cold but the temperature was successfully battled with a vodka/OJ/Midori combo. It reawakened those muscles that you only ever use for golf, so now they’re sore.

Then it was time to do this to the yard (more musculoskeletal abuse) –

 

Thatched

 

Power rake to the max. Thatched front and back, here and up the street at Mike & AJ’s. It may look bad now, but this is going to help the lawns massively. Aeration is next. If the muscles ever forgive me. Didn’t know I was going to beat myself up this weekend (actually, I kinda had an idea).

BIG THANKS to Mike for all the help! Woulda never got it done without you Meathead.

These two I like

Posted on March 21, 2013 by cyetso

The neighbor has a bit of everything in the yard. Mostly, it looks cluttered. But I will admit, sometimes they have something that gives a smile –

 

Play nice

 

They’re cool.
