This tree and these blooms
This tree and these blooms carry beautifully painful memories as the last time I saw a friend this tree was in bloom. Miss you Jason.
pink blossoms by the lake
I see these trees and wonder for eleven months of the year, “who decided to plant these boring, bare trees? They don’t even have leaves.” But then I see this explosion of pink blossoms each year and rejoice at the sight. The are definitely worth the wait. I have come to embrace this celebration of life and their short season of beauty.
our garden in June
We visit our plants and water them often. Sometime we see our friend Kevin Woodson in the garden painting flowers.
Justin accompanied us one day last week to help us string up our beans and tomatoes that were getting a little wild. It looks much more organized now.
magnolias in pink & white
Emma and I love to spot the “magnolahs” in our neighborhood. We saw a painter in the gardens last week painting the magnolias there and he recommended visiting the SF Botanical gardens to see beautiful magnolias there. I have never visited before but according to the SF Botanical Gardens they have the “most significant magnolia collection for conservation purposes outside China, where the majority of species grow.” Sounds like we will have to take a trip to Golden Gate Park. The really cool thing is that we could also drop into the deYoung museum as well since they are part of the reciprocal museum list and we have the membership to the Oakland Museum. ^_^
