Not completely the same photo (or angle) but focus in on the house behind our fence….. spot the difference?
I’ll give you a clue! In the second photo, can you see their back porch? Ha! Spot the difference now? We bought a new tree :-) A whopping 20 ft Elm tree. We ended up buying it because the guy that’s been doing our back yard was delivering this to Cheryl next door to replace some trees that had died in her backyard. Only, this tree cost nearly double the quote he gave Cheryl, and she didn’t want to purchase something so big at this time. We want big trees out back, 1) for shade and 2), to hide the other houses behind us, SO I called Jason that day and asked if he thought we should get it? After all, it was sitting right there on our doorstep – more or less! So we got it. We love it. . . . BUT, we just wish we’d asked them to place it a few more feet to the left! To block out there upstairs game room (their house is the same model as ours, so I know that’s the game room) ;-)
Brrrrr, it is so cold today. I can’t believe it was about 85 degrees here yesterday and today is only 50! Thankfully the cold front won’t last long, in fact tomorrow we are supposed to get back up to 75 and by Friday, high 80’s.
Here’s a close up of the tree, although a little blurry. I’ll try to get better pictures of it next time.
Things are growing in the garden! I’ve been out and snapped some pictures. . . . I’ll be back tomorrow with an update.

The tree is just gorgeous! I didn't know you could buy them that big! It's nice that you have some shade in your yard as well as privacy.
Your garden is looking wonderful!

WOW--that tree looks great! And your garden is sure coming along! That's awesome :) Your back yard is so nice!
Hi Denise! That was lucky that the tree practically ended up on your doorstep. :) I would think with the hot Texas sun, it will be nice to have some shade trees. We have birch trees in our backyard. Your garden looks like it's coming along nicely! (((Hugz)))
