| Yearly 2025 | House | [22-Mar-2025]
I took these on time this year, just didnt upload them for a week. New white garage door, with door open and insulation. The old one was needing a hammer to open on several occasions. Removed two of the grape vines but the posts are still in place. They were shaded too much to produce grapes. Orange tree is a week or two from blooming, and largely recovered. Apples are blooming. The last two oak trees in the front on the left are gone. With the neighbor had them taken down after the tornado. Starlink dish is visible on the north corner.
