Have you seen those purple trees around town? They typically bloom from April through June, some even linger a little longer? Do you have them in your yard?<\/p>\n

I do! And while they are quite beautiful, sometimes the mess they leave behind is not quite so . . . well, let’s say, wonderful. Where I live, the Homowner’s Association has contracted yard service, which happens every Monday and Thursday – I’m lovin this, cause I don’t need to own a lawnmower, weed eater, rake, shovel – well, you get the picture – moreover, I don’t need to use those tools – I am lovin that even better!<\/p>\n

[oh yeah, back on track] They come, clean, rake, do all this stuff and within 10 minutes, the yard, the sidewalk, the drive way, the cars – and even you, if you stand there long enough – are covered with these purple blooms – it’s like raining purple. Today’s image could be a tribute to the fallen ones, but mostly it’s a testimony to the proliferation of blooms and the mess they make – seriously, 10 minutes after the man raked my yard!<\/p>\n

And yes, I got down on the ground and laid on my stomach to take this image – forgot about the sprinklers though! [duh!] Oh, this one is for Ralph Clevenger – I do know the name of these trees, they are Jacaranda Trees. Remind me to tell you a little about Ralph one of these days . . .<\/p>\n
