Ok, spring has officially arrived, and I received the most wonderful gift. Having bought my home in the fall, I knew I liked the yard and trees. It is a pretty yard, nothing special, but I like it a lot. However, this week I got the most wonderful surprise- I realized those trees in my yard were cherry trees with the most fabulous blossoms on them-like large, puffy clouds in my front yard. Then, when I had about gotten over the cherry trees, I realized that the other tree in my front yard is a dogwood, fixing to bloom. Well, I have wanted a dogwood for several years. Most of my neighbors in johnsonville had them, but for whatever reason, when they cleared my lot, I did not have one. Jamie has planted several over the years, but they need to be planted a particular way, and none of them lived, but now I have one, and it is beautiful! One of the ladies in my senior ladies' choir said, "see, God knew you needed to be here." Too funny!
Coincidentally, the cherry tree I planted in Johnsonville 12 years ago bloomed for the first time this year. Yeah, I got the irony.
