show and tell

a couple weekends ago
we pulled our redbuds out.
cause they were dead.
see.



they didn't root.
we couldn't understand why.
until we dug and found these rocks
hogging up the dirt.
see.



so we bought new trees.
pretty flowers that remind me of my mom.
because they are purple and yellow.
the colors of her wedding.
and i took pictures
just in case they die too.
to remind me that they were once alive.
see.



i am hoping next year
i will have something to show.
in color.
stay tuned.

Loving this!!! Thanks for the tribute bobbies. And see that lake peeking there, that lake reminds me of my dad. Yep, the circle of life.

Our soil is like amazing times a million. Why trees don't thrive in ROCKS is beyond me...

I think you're the greatest person ever, by the way. Let's have a three am chat soon. But like...at three pm. :)
