My dear hubby has been making noise lately about removing this pomegranate tree to widen the path to the back of our property.
I've always been fascinated by this fruit. On the outside it appears to be a big leathery ball. The little crown with the last remnants of the flower hint at the royal surprise inside - dozens of ruby like little seeds, as shiny and bright as the jewels themselves.
I'll show you how these gorgeous red fruits translate in my cottage decorating in my next post. For now I'd like to show you the beauty of the tree itself.
It's dense green foliage shows off the
bright red-orange trumpet shaped flowers.
First off, need a new flag pole so the flag will stay at the end where it's supposed to be. Some living flowers in the pots would be nice! Hubby has hired a boy from down the road to help with yard work so I'm leaving it up to them to clean up the flower beds and overgrown bushes.
Oh my, where does all this junk come from? Not my treasures, you all know where they come from. I'm talking about the scooter that has been too small for my daughter for years, hubby's exercise ball we brought outside to play with cause it wasn't getting used, muddy shoes (dried on mud now) etc. 
Check out my "vineyard". In another week I won't even have to step out the door to pick grapes! This lovely vine must have been "planted" by the birds. We sure didn't plant it in the front flowerbed!
At last, some progress. The boys have trimmed the hedge and mowed the lawn. Now I can see the mail truck when it pulls up! Thanks guys!
