Outside My Window

This is what it looks like through the stairwell window right now.  Every year I almost hold my breath until these lovely tri-color beech trees leaf out.  Right now they're at their peak of prettiness.  Later on in the summer the color fades as the heat intensifies.  But at this moment they're absolutely beautiful.

And I still remember the day (ten or so years ago) when The Husband and I wrestled those two trees down in the (affectionately named) amphitheater and planted them.

Spring has finally sprung today and the sight is sending our spirits soaring.



Also on the plus side, managed to check out another book from the library for my NOOK - with no technical assistance.  Wow!  Amazing! I can be awesome!      Quit laughing!
