Not to mention my kitty that rest below the earth under the shade tree! If only I could take it all with me. But not leaving any time soon so I will continue to make this place look the best I can for the next person!

I hope I did okay with that?? I probably should've asked here first but my lawnmower was getting hung up on the lower branches and I wanted to fix that. So, do you think it's going to be okay that I trimmed a few bottom branches?

It did fine along with the river birch we dug that day, growing along the river. Someone is enjoying them now though. We moved from that first little house, a long time ago.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525022534268765494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-17265536515222916702008-07-11T19:58:00.000-05:002008-07-11T19:58:00.000-05:00Jean, granddaughter will be happy that Compost has...Jean, granddaughter will be happy that Compost has a good foster home.

I think the name has to do with the yellow slanting eyes of a wolf being similar to the yellow markings on the leaves. Wayside had it a few years ago as the cover beauty. Our native dogwoods are so far doing okay, but they get water in the drought as they are in the beds that get extra care.
