LOL! This looks like some hokey photo for a real estate magazine! Not what I had in mind, but I guess it works. Almost done with the work for the front yard. Hope to be done by mid week. It's getting there, little by little. Then on to the back! Ugh!
Here's a fun tidbit... The best yard workin' music - to keep ya going in spite of being hot, sweaty and so tired. I can rock the house, the yard and the woods! Just crank up that stereo all the way! My yard tools are my instruments. I can play a mean rake! LOL! Go ahead, I dare ya to play it! Ha ha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTAOLmEba4I
Glad you had fun playing in the yard! This is a beautiful photo! The pink is beautiful and it is great that you can see all of the texture in the flowers!
Gorgeous photo! I love the focus, and that's one of my favorite trees! I can just picture you out in the yard cranking that song and rockin' the rake! Hey, if you ever want to make a cameo appearance on stage with us, our band is always looking for a good rake player. ;-)
Beautiful dof .. lovely home and yard! Great framing with the front branches. Defintely shouts, "Spring!" I can smell the clean scent of earth from this photo, Maggie. Tons of hard work and aching back. Wonderful photo .. sit back, relax and enjoy.
@sharritta Fun? LOL! Thank you for the lovely comments, Sharon! Always appreciate your visit!
@melissapike Oh my gosh! You made my night, Melissa!!! ROFLOL! "A cameo appearance"... I am a great rake player! Ha ha! Thank you, gal! I really enjoy reading your comments and always enjoy your visit!
@belphenstone Thank you, Beau! They're kwanzan cherry tree blossoms. They have no scent but they are very pretty.
@papalima Thank you, Patti! Appreciate your lovely comments!
@karenann LOL! Wait till you see the whole front yard finished, then you'll know. Thank you for your very kind and gracious comments, gal! Always much appreciated and grateful for your visit!
Mags, did you know about 'rake 'n' scrape'? Its folk music apparently coming out of Africa! I can just imagine those blossoms all shaking with the music I've just listened to!
I love this Maggie! It reminds me of MonicaE's pic, only the white house in her pic is the President's home! Just beautiful! Fav! I love that song but never really knew what they were saying until watching the video. Great yard jammin song!!!
@wannabe LOL! I did wash part of the front of the house today but, it's confederate gray. Monica's shot is much better than mine, too! Ha ha! Thank you, Catherine! I really appreciate the fav, your comments and visit, as always! Glad you liked the song. =)
@wenbow Thank you very much, Wendy! Always appreciate your sweet and kind comments!
@joeboxster Thank you, Joe! LOL! Yeah, it was 90 degrees here today! I didn't have a dry stitch on me when I quit for the day. It is nice. It's just 2.53 acres but, it's mine for the moment anyhow.
@cmc1200 LOL! It is actually confederate gray. I didn't do such a good job getting the color right. Oh well! Thank you for your lovely comments, Caryn! Not hokey? Really? I'm glad you don't think so. It was the first thing I thought when I pulled it up on my screen.
@marlboromaam Well in reality they would blur out the beautiful plants and focus on their picture on the for sale sign. haha. (hopefully you're not in real estate. :-)
Oh maaan, I love listening to Def Leppard! Armageddon It, Let's Get Rocked, Rock of Ages... basically every song on their greatest hits Vault CD, I love them. And I always laugh when I listen to Make Love Like A Man. Hahaha. I always play Def Leppard songs when I want to stop thinking and start feeling better. 8D Great shot, I love the pretty, sweet pink hues of the flowers and your house looks cute!
Gorgeous shot, I love the colours and composition. As for Rocking Out, you should go Pro! You'd Rake it in!! .......... Bad joke I know, couldn't resist! :)
I dont think its "hokey" i love the DOF with your lovely house in the background and those flowers are gorgeous! I would have liked to see you in the background rocking out with your rake though! LMAO =)
This is so beautiful!! It is not hokey on little bit!! I love the pov and the flowers are gorgeous! Great dof! Your home looks beautiful! I am trying to imagine you doing yard work to Def leppard LOL!!
@lindag LOL! No, not in real estate but, there may come a time and soon that I have to sell. Though I don't want to. Thank you, Linda!

Huge fav! I used to be a Realtor and this would definitely work for me. I love how those gorgeous flowers sweep the foreground and highlight the home ... so lovely!
this is absolutely beautiful Maggie. The detail in the blossom is superb and the bokeh background of your house is expertly done....and your house....wow looks like you live in a lovely location....that's a big garden to keep tidy :)
I'm often singing while gardening Maggie, but I've never played a 'spade or rake', I'm not really a guitar / rocker person.....but I could accompany you if you played me a nice tune with your tools :)
@jupiterjanes LOL! Don't be - it's a whole lot of work! Thank you, Sarah!
@horselover Aww! Thank you, Jennifer! My achin' back says otherwise. LOL!
@phil_howcroft I just finished washing the front of house yesterday except for the dormers and that takes the big long ladder. 2.53 acres to try to keep tidy, guy. Hoping to get it done before the heat and humidity really set in and I can't. Thank you for your kind and lovely comments, Phil! Always enjoy reading them and appreciate your visit. LOL! No air drums or air guitar? Do you work to the beat of your song or sing to the beat of your work? =)
@marlboromaam maggie my singing just tends to be random lines from songs i like ...my music choice.......very eclectic ...anything from musical theatre, new romantic, punk, pop, soul, R&B ..the whole range really....i do prefer the sound of a woman's voice to that of a man though :)
I must admit you're front yard is lookin' great! I love the way you can see the home behind these gorgeous pink cherry blossoms. Everything seems so clean and vibrant...or is it just the angle of the shot :D
@cjphoto LOL! Not quite finished yet. I'll get a pic when I'm done with the front. Just started working in the back. Thank you for the kind comments, Chris! Always appreciate them and your visit!
