"The Woods"

Our Pennsylvania wild cherry is full bloom. They do give off a pretty light scent. At one time the cherry was used extensively for furniture. We are lucky to have some Pennsylvania cherry furniture pieces in our home. Sadly the manufacturers have all closed...and now a lot of the stuff is made in China.


When we built our home we were in the deep woods. (today it is a residential development) We transplanted a many of the woodland violets as we could. Today, our yard and beds are full of violets.

We have kept the backyard fairly natural, so it still has the original woodland sense to it. The forest floor is starting to green up and the ferns are producing their fiddle heads right now
