Saving the Easter Lilies

Vera took some pictures of this Oregon Grape when she came out to get a couple of pictures for my blog.  It sure has some bright colors!
As I was working on the motor home today, I realized the ferns were covering the Easter Lilies in front of my shop.  After I got done with the wheels, I got the hedge clippers out and cut the ferns back.  The flowers look kind of mashed together but I am hoping that they will straighten up now that they are getting some sun.
I have just dumped the load of ferns and heather I trimmed, the last job of the day.  This morning, I started out pulling the duals off one side of the motor home so I could check a new wheel I got and see i if fit.  It did, so I put the old ones back on until I get the others and new tires.  After trimming the ferns, I changed the oil and filter on the Blazer and lawn mower.  As I was checking for leaks on the Blazer, I noticed one on the supply line to the filter.  This one was on the other end of the line that blew off a couple of weeks ago.  That made the job and hour or so longer, but I got it repaired.
This is how the shop looks with the ferns trimmed and the Easter Lilies showing.  It was a long day, but worth it.  Now that I think about it, I could have probably skipped my exercises this morning!
