wedding present
After a weekend of 4 soccer games and 3 baseball games, I came home late Sunday afternoon and told my daughter we would plant the flower she bought at the garden club sale. One thing led to another and I ended up getting everything planted...not stopping to change my good shoes or to even put garden gloves on. After dinner I came out to sit on the swing and ran back inside to get my camera to take a picture of our beautiful dogwood tree. The dogwood tree is pretty but it also has a cute story...
The original owner of our house moved in when he was a teenager. He married for the first time when he was 80 years old...and planted the dogwood tree as a wedding present to his bride.
What a beautiful tree...
Where has the romance gone these days? That's a cute story.
That's a whole lot of sports!
Wow...my daughter has two softball games this week and I thought that was a bit much! I don't know what I will do when all three kids are playong different things...I tip my hat to you Julie! Enjoy your day...
