Spring on Lyell Street!

Jasmine is blooming and fragrance is throughout the house and yard.




 A bit windy and about to rain.  But we will take a quick tour of the yard before the rain comes.  Definitely April has come!  Plants are beginning to bloom.  New life comes into the yard which had become quite drab in the past couple of months!

Purple roses

Vivian's Iris's






Flowering begins.




Jasmine blooming in the courtyard again.

The last branches to
be cleared out
after mega-pruning!






Grapefruit blossums.  A few fruit at top.

Orange tree blossuming.  FRAGRANCE is wonderful. 

Camelias almost gone.

Grapefruit sweet
& delicious this year

My one palm tree.

Spring 2013 yardwork is just beginning. Most of the pruning is done.  Light is flooding the house now that the "forest" has been cut back.  Grass needs to be planted.  Flower bed needs planting. Lots yet to do.  Love this time of year!
