Blueberry Tree Project

Summer around here means lots of craft time and yard projects.  We recently took on our blueberry trees and prettied them up a little.

 These are our beloved blueberry trees.   They bring us much joy...
...in the form of blueberry and mixed berry cobblers!
This is a "before" picture of our blueberry trees.  Notice that we added a border of stones and some fresh mulch.  They thanked us by producing so many berries that we literally thought they were growing back by the time we picked all the way around.  Shortly after, tropical storm Debbie blessed us with a lot of rain.  The grass loved it; the fruit trees not-so-much.  We haven't had any berries since the storms.  The trees still look great and are producing new growth like crazy, but no fruit.  Our lovely friends at Home Depot said that the fruit trees in the area went into shock from the large amount of rain at one time.
I also painted these concrete blocks and used them as planters for some backyard blooms.
"Go forth into the day and make it good."  "Bless these Blooms." 
 "Home -- where the flowers grow a little taller!"
