Spring Tour of My Front Yard - 2019

Pink Dogwood on right side of driveway.
I wanted to take pictures today before storms arrive overnight - could possibly lose blossoms from heavy rain.

I always have geraniums in the pot on pedestal - they do so well. Flanked by concrete benches which I added a gargoyle on each have been protecting our property for 30 years! The house is behind the tall bushes and a long way from the road.
This gargoyle we named, "Wolfgang."
This one (from behind) we named, "Ludwig." 
This is a view from the edge of the driveway near the road and shows a big part, but not all of the front yard. If you look between the sugar maples at back right, you will see our crab tree. You can also see the bench and "Ludwig" far right of tree.
Front view of our poor crab that was just trimmed of all the dead limbs...poor baby. I want to save all the branches that had life. The back view is below.
Looks quite different from the back!  I'm keeping the "suckers" - maybe they'll grow into something. 
...and this I LOVE! 
It's a type of succulent and last year we had a red one. It did so well between the garage doors we wanted another one this year. I was so happy when I saw the nursery had one with PINK blossoms - my very favorite color!

This is the end of the Spring Tour of my front yard!
It'll be a nice memory for me, too. :)
