catching up... for now

so, i got bit by a cleaning bug (still in the midst of it, actually) and have been deep cleaning and purging stuff from my house....  which means this project has gotten shoved to the backburner a bit.
i'm still taking photos (although not daily), and will hopefully get back on track in the next couple of weeks after tackling the office/junkroom and laundry room.

until then, here are some of the shots i took through the rest of may:

120/121/122: discoveries

a busy saturday followed by a rained out sunday meant that monday was catch-up day, so you get a triple dose post...

 after (finally) pruning back some Nandina, rediscovered these Autumn Joy Sedums that I was sure were long dead.

discovered that these Pleasant White Rhododendron sp. were not actually the same as these...

discovered that Mock Strawberries are growing in the pot with our Bay tree

110: mulberry street

unripe Mulberries, Morus sp.

109: plum crazy

Purple Leaf Plum, Prunus cerasifera 

30: forgotten

Mold (Botrytis sp.) on Avocado, Persea americana

9: mini-pears

discovered this in a neighbor's yard while taking a walk with my children...

Callery Pear, Pyrus calleryana
possible 'Bradford' cultivar

i had never realized that Bradford's were just ornamental, and also considered invasive.
