2014 winter scenes in February








Behold!  We hired a gardener to come and prune our fruit trees and citrus trees.  We now have our persimmon, peach, plum and pomegranate trees ready for spring blossoming.  Our citrus trees are also thinned out and ready for the coming year!  Yeah!  Our tulip tree is blooming and sending ton of petals on the sidewalks and lawn.  It is a good thing it is so beautiful!
