Everyone knows how tired I am of Phoenix and how badly I wish I could move...somewhere pretty. Its this upcoming time of year that I miss Massachusetts. The one thing that makes being here still somewhat tolerable is this tree in our front yard. My happy tree, my patience tree, my forgiveness tree, etc. All the things I need when I curse living here. Not a great picture, I know. So you can't really appreciate the lovely lavender buds on a dark plum tree. (It was a bad picture until Pat took over with the camera.) It makes my heart smile as I pull in and out of the garage. But then I go in the house and frown at how small my house is and how crowded we are. Or I drive down the street and see all the brown...sigh!
But let's be positive for a minute. I'm grateful to have a house. A husband who works hard so that I can stay home with my crazy crowd. That I live close to more than one Trader Joe's. All important things.
Thank you tree!

How are you guys doing? What a pretty tree!
That is a beautiful tree! And I can appreciate longing for something green... living in KY most of my life. We missed you guys at dinner on Sat - I hope you get feeling better soon. It wasn't by chance a stomach flu was it? Lara called me today and said she was horrible sick yesterday and today. hmmm?
