Bloom

Our having the old hickory tree in front of the house tree cut down last Spring was probably premature. Unattractive due to storm damage, it probably would have remained in place for another 5-10 years. But, I made the decision to remove it and so we did.

The Red Bud we planted in its place underwent a terrible growing season last year. The drought invariably called upon us to water, water, water. With snow late in coming this year, I was concerned the tree might not have survived.

But, as Arianna, shows us . . . it's coming up all rosey . . .
