The neighbors field...borrowed landscape. I love

living where we do, close to town yet

we are right in the middle of pastures and fields.

Summer is finally here, we are just hoping it doesn’t

get as hot as it did last year!!

We lost both of our Japanese Maples and a Bradford Pear

last summer even though I watered faithfully.

Have a great week!!

Lovely photos! It is hot here too but not as hot as where you are! Last year we lost out Japanese Maple even though I put a slow drip on it almost every day. Planted a new little one this year :)

we lost a big old oak tree last summer :( Thankfully this year we've been having enough rain around Houston too

I haven't planted a thing this year...although a lot of volunteers popped up which delighted the heck outta me. I lost so many things last year including whole sections of grass and a Japanese Maple it scares me to buy anything just yet.
That field is beautiful and BTW...I have a soft spot for cardinals especially the fledglings.
