Question for the gardeners out there.

What is this?

I have a tree with blossom's on it...........no idea what sort of tree it is.

What is this green stuff you say?????

We finally got grass on the front and side of the house along with some more trees and plants.  The white pipe will be cut down and disguised as it is a water run off pipe.

 The tree that is closest is a Silk Lilac, and the other one is a Canadian Maple

 The tree to the right of the photo is an Oak tree that goes red in the Fall.

 They put in some more garden which is still to fill with plants

 This is a lilac tree that they planted.  Wasn't expecting that and pleased to see it.

They had started sorting out the back today and then we got some bad weather.  We now have a swimming pool in the back. 

This was the hail that came down. 

 More hail and it's still thundering out there.

All the neighbours pleased to see our grass as it tidies up the place.

Signs that Spring is on the doorstep.

Had to get the hand held vac to hoover up cluster flies, as there was more than the usual couple out.

I can see something outside that isn't white; it's a dirty looking colour......yep, that could be bare ground.

There are buds on the maple trees.

The lights don't need to be turned on until nearly 6pm.

HOWEVER....with the amount of snow we do have, we have bets on that it will be May before the final snow melts and our driveway is now shot ice all the way down........that is so an accident waiting to happen for me!!
