This is what our front yard used to look like. We had two pear trees in the front yard for years. They are not Bradford Pears, I forget what kind they are. Pretty but when they bloomed they stunk plus they were bad for the allergies. I remember the first time that my Forest Ranger dad visited us in our new home. We picked him up at the airport and when we pulled into the driveway he said, "Those are two crappy looking trees, Alan." (You can tell where I got my silver tongue from right.) The problem is that the trees are weak. They branch a lot and the branches are weak points. They eventually split apart. We still haven't replaced them yet. I'm good with that, the grass does better without the trees.

Spring means it's time to visit the local dog parks again and get acquainted and reacquainted with the various dogs and owners that are out and about enjoying the nice weather before it gets hot.

This week's header photo is of a storm from a long time ago. I forget the circumstances but I love the photo.

Skywatch Friday - Ozark Mountain Sunset
This week's header shot is from fifteen years ago. A sunset view from our cabin in Branson, Missouri home of Silver Dollar City. When our son was younger we went once a year or so. Lots of rides, lots of stuff to see. We haven't been back in a while.
