Flowering Cherry Trees Make A Spectacular Springtime Garden Display
After a long, dreary winter, we're all ready for spring. Even if you're not a gardener, you can still appreciate the sight of a little patch of daffodils or tulips. Their bright, cheerful colors herald the coming of spring and warmer days. Perhaps that's why my grandmother often said, "You're as welcome as the flowers in May!", a wonderfully touching sentiment.

Privacy Trees
The house I grew up in had a privacy fence that reached all around the perimeter. In some ways I really liked it. I liked the feeling of being sheltered from the neighbors and the outside world.
