I love our yard

I love it when spring gets here. Our yard smells so good. Only bad thing is the bees. They are EVERYWHERE and by the middle of summer, you can hardly even go outside during the day because of them. Anyway, the trees and flowers are blooming and I thought I would show you a few in my yard.

This tree is covered in wisteria. Within a week, the whole tree will be purple. So pretty and smells so good. When they start to drop, this whole half of the yard is covered in purple petals. It looks really cool.
Check out the vines. The kids love climbing them and hanging from them. Also, that's my closest neighbors house in the back ground. Way to close if you ask me.
I don't know the technical name of this thing but we call it a tulip tree. The flowers on this don't last long. I don't know why.
And here is the dogwood. It's actually a yellow dogwood but for some reason they look white in the pictures. And, these flowers will drop on Easter. Happens every year.
This one had the red (blood) stains but they didn't show up real good in the picture.

It's funny, my mom loves dogwoods and wisteria but can't get them to grow on her property. I don't do anything and mine grow like crazy.
