A redbud, one last time

The redbud trees are rapidly fading now and the leafing out has begun.

So this is probably my last photos of the redbuds this year.

Here's a closer look at the same tree, zooming in.  

I took these photos yesterday evening as the sun was going 

down and the sun glow turned the tree into a 
lovely bright pink. 

We had a nice weekend with beautiful weather. The lawn 

was mowed and trimmed.  Flower beds were inspected

and a few stray weeds pulled.  Mulch was bought for needed

areas.  And I remembered the seed block for the birds.

The roses are looking great.  Of course, I mostly have the 

very easy to grow Knockout roses.  They already have several

 buds.  If you look closely, you'll see them in the photo below.

Our son came by Friday evening and stayed until Saturday 

afternoon.  We always enjoy his visits.  Saturday mornng, he went 

walking around the Back 6 with his dad, looking for morel mushrooms.  

Many in our area have found them by the bucketfuls, but they didn't

have any luck.  We grilled some steaks Friday evening and

Saturday at lunch time, I fixed a very good salad that I'd seen

on the Pioneer Woman's website.  

I'm sure everyone has heard of PW by now and if you'd like

this yummy recipe, you can find it here.  The only thing I

did differently was that I bought the croutons instead of making

them as she does and I didn't have a red onion so used a white one.

It still turned out very tasty.  I'd made this recipe one other time before 

and it was declared a keeper.  Many of her recipes are keepers!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Until next time...
