I'm having a rough day so I've decided to share more flower photos [View all]

A car came down the street that looked just like the one my much loved sister drove. Before her health took a fatal turn, she used to stop by, unannounced, and we'd start weeding and talking. For a blissful instant I was thinking 'Yea! She can help me with the garden and we can have a good chat." Then my second thought was a crash of reality.

Anyway, wandering out around nature's beauty is a sure way for me to move past emotional walls. The first two photos are from my crab apple and pear tree. The third is an ornamental tree that I keep only because it is spectacular, for a brief period, during the Spring. The rest of the year it is just something else annoying around which I have to mow.
