Spring view of our house (with apple tree)

Home ownership suits me. I love how the house looks this spring. The fun part about moving into a new home in the fall is that you don’t have any idea what kind of plants there might be. It turns out we have 2 pear trees, the pink in the front I think is an apple tree, the (mini) Japaneses maple out front is deep red that matches the shutters. There are azaleas all over and purple ground cover flowers. And the yard, it’s the best yard on our street, most of them are sloped or a lot smaller.
You can see Betsie in there too. The yard has dried out enough to mow and she’s caught up again, 82% after 2 hours and 45 minutes yesterday. She stopped for some reason this morning and didn’t make it home. I don’t know why. I found her near the maple when I got home this afternoon and her battery was almost dead so I carried her home.
Hey Betsie’s mom, do you have a perimeter wire around that red tree? if so, and you don’t have a quick return off that island, Betsie may have spun around and around without getting home.
A quick return would allow Betsie to leave the island and find its way closer back to the charging station.
hope this helps,
cheers.
That’s good to know… I hadn’t had that happen before.
But… there isn’t a wire around the red tree.
I think she May be having problems entering the home station, and going around and around the whole yard until she dies.
