May Madness

Sunday storms again,,, not as bad as a couple weeks ago, but tree damage from the first storm, caught up with me this week. I knew those trees were coming down, i was hoping for a breathing space, as i have had soooo  much hitting my pocket book in April and May.. I have to admit, a WONDERFUL thing happened in February, but its been a bit downhill since.
This is my driveway from the street side, NO ,, I could not get out yesterday morning to come to work. I did find a guy, off a local website on FB from Utica that arrived yesterday morning to make a path so i could get out. I do not know what they charge for tree work, but I think i got a good price for all the moving he did by himself, When i sent pictures, i told him it was worse than it looked. I did give him an extra 50, I also didn't have him haul it off. just pushed to the side. I'll probably find someone who might need firewood, a good bit is oak. He had to cut them small enough to move, so whoever gets it may not have a lot of cutting to do. I will use him again as he made time on his way to full time job, plus when i called him , he was on his way home from Florida.
the last picture is the pond full from the rain,, went down fast though.

Roses again, spring 2017


before the storms,,, wonder if there are any roses left on the bushes after last nights major storm??
Glorious while they last, i really need to dead head and let the greenery grow a bit more. Is it my smeller, or do roses just not have much smell anymore. One of these might , the one i bought at the Raymond spring fair a few years back. I've moved them 3 or 4 times. I think i finally found the best spot for them.
