Continued to prune the Dappled Willow next to the right fence. Still some more pruning needs to be done.

Took a wagonful of refuse from the pruning over to Dave’s gulley.

Walking by the Wintergreen Boxwoods [Buxus microphylla var. koreana ‘Wintergreen’], noticed some growth that was of different color.

First, thought that these were flowers but with searching on the web and looking at previous pictures, determined that this is just new growth. The only picture that we have, as of this date, of flowers on the Wintergreen Boxwoods is the following.

The forecast for the rest of the week by the US National Weather Service Morristown Tennessee (from Facebook):

So, we won’t be able to finish the pruning until next week.
