This week started a bit frazzled for me. I spent Monday worrying about all the places I had to go and people to visit. My grumbling to myself and others has led me to go back over my feeling out of control of my very own life. I should be thankful I can do all those things on my "to do" list, but I wasn't.

The use of Evergreen trees can help fill in areas that are deciduous trees.   My top picks for plants, trees, and shrubs for the yard : Lilac (refereed to as shrub or tree) Butterfly Bush Evergreen (tree) Pussy Willow (tree) Spring bloomer Curly Willow (tree) Weeping Willow (tree) Forsythia (bush) Spring bloomer Mint (...
