Crepe Master
In Atlanta, Stephen and I had 2 crepe myrtle trees at the end of our driveway. Stephen did such a great job pruning and taking care of them. They always looked so pretty when they bloomed (and NO you DO NOT just chop crepe myrtles down to the short stubs - that is also known as crepe murder). I had hoped that when we moved to Valdosta we would have at least 1 in our yard. Careful what you wish for because now we have 5 crepe myrtles! These are also not the nice little 8 feet tall ones we had in Atlanta either. These boys are over 14 feet tall. Stephen spent the weekend getting them in shape. They really look so good and I can't wait to see them when they bloom.
Stephen made me very nervous standing at the top of this ladder!
Look at the growing trash pile! Yes, I did help drag the branches over to the pile.
I was trying to capture the front of our house with the 2 crepe myrtles on each side (the others are on the side of the house and 1 is in the back yard), but I obviously did a horrible job. The weather was really nasty today, so I didn't really spend much time perfecting my shot.
