Looking spry.
Now that my old friend Greg Boytos has convinced me that my front yard tree is a dogwood, it has come out in full for my dear wife Karen and I to celebrate.
(I’m not saying that Greg is old, mind you, because he and I are roughly the same age. I am saying that our connection goes way back to our school years together, junior and senior and high back down on the Island, oh those decades ago. Anyway, he’s how a Facebook friend who saw my last what-kind-of-tree is this post and strong called the almost-ready-buds and surrounding buds those of a dogwood. Another comment reminded me that he’s a landscaper, so there we have it.)
Closer inspection.
Doesn’t it look sweet?
A bit of warmer weather has been good for it.
so beautiful, worth waiting for

LOL. My house has lots of flowering trees and bushes that were here when we moved in, and I don’t know what any of them are. I learned what the big planter next to the house contained last summer when I was outside trimming and a lady walking by said, “Oh what lovely hostas!” Really? I don’t even know what hostas are, but apparently mine are lovely. I don’t think we have any dogwoods, so I’ll just enjoy yours.

It is a never-ending learning process, CM. We knew the stuff in our other yard because we put it in. We know the new stuff in this yard as we put it in. Well, at least my dear wife Karen does!
