Spring Trees



I believe my crab apple tree is the prettiest tree in town. You might like this apple, or this one, but I like the pink crab. They are in bloom all over town.
Panguitch in the spring is lovely. Cold today, but lovely. I am dedicating this blog to the younger people in the Reynolds Family who died this week.
Both in their 40's. One has been ill since birth. The other choked on meat.
They will be missed. It is always a jar when parents end up burying their children.
It should be the other way around.
My son has arrived to till the ground and plant the garden. Spring is here.
We had two warm days, but now it is cold again today. Memorial day is tomorrow
and we will think of those who have gone. Our spirits intermingle with those of the past and we feel somehow touched. Spring, when trees are draped in beauty,
is a good time to remember.

  1. Yes, that pink blossoming crab apple tree is my favorite, too. The blossoms are so thick you know this tree must be getting plenty of water. It is surely too bad such a simple accident would befall a younger person. But her mother might not have been able to get it out in time, if it was lodged too deep. Oh dear. This will be a serious Memorial holiday for those sets of parents. Just goes to show we can never be too careful.

  2. The trees are beautiful. Yes it is tragic when a young life is lost. Our friend just lost her sixteen year old in a skateboard accident.
