I bet it is the showplace of the neighborhood! Glad you removed the tree- I do think it opens things up and gives you more light and makes the yard seem even larger. <br /><br />Just so you know- you have two pop-up "surveys" that come up when scrolling on your blog that "follow" you as you scroll down. Probably nothing you can do about it-but wanted you to know- NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-59808733908666127182015-04-22T06:15:03.000-07:002015-04-22T06:15:03.000-07:00Your front yard is so beautiful and full, MIndy!
I...Your front yard is so beautiful and full, MIndy!<br />I'm a fan of cypress, but also think that they can get too big sometimes. I can't believe how different your front yard looks without it. It looks completely different. I LOVE how removing it opened your yard. It even makes the space look bigger . . .and your house brighter. So YAY on all home fronts :0)<br />I don't know how you do all that you do! Seriously! <br />Oh! Have you ever seen P. Allen Smith's show on PBS? I think of you every time I watch it. PBS airs repeat shows every morning, and new ones on Saturdays. I think you'd love it! <br />And . . . can you recommend any full shade flowers/plants to me? I have a long strip in my patio that NEEDS long-lasting shade flowers or plant. Thoughts? Ideas?<br />I hope you're having a great week,<br />SuzanneSimply Suzannes at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626136028481867423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-13763992793804816022015-04-21T21:57:31.796-07:002015-04-21T21:57:31.796-07:00At first I thought you changed your hubby's mi...At first I thought you changed your hubby's mind and took out the palm! Truthfully I liked that Cypress and the tall lilac but it's not my garden and I don't have to deal with it--just admire it from afar. You've definitely created more space for plant treasures. I love how enclosed and private your front yard is. No neighbor dogs pooping on your plants.

And now I want to get our lilac trees (not bushes anymore) whacked like yours, hope they come back, but they are so tall with the blooms so high that I didn't even realize they were blooming. Your yard looks beautiful, and now you have more room to play with! gypsyelveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119606011737569693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-83047724939237865242015-04-21T16:23:10.709-07:002015-04-21T16:23:10.709-07:00It was a lemon cypress, so at least it smells good...It was a lemon cypress, so at least it smells good as it was being cut down. :)<br /><br />We're in Oregon, so definitely ahead of a lot of other states in the spring department. The forsythia and bulbs are the first signs here, as well.

I am one who likes the metal thing, sculpture, whatever it is that took it's place. <br /><br />Don't know where you live, but wow you have a lot of blooming going on already. Here in Michigan, so far all I'm seeing is forsythia and daffodils & other bulbs. Plus this week it's getting cold again so the blooming is still a long way off.LindaSoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278757290628812964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-28776299753482495812015-04-21T13:49:56.669-07:002015-04-21T13:49:56.669-07:00Thriving yard!
