This tree has looked like this for weeks now. I'm not sure why its blooms have stayed this Spring but I love it and hope it repeats this for all the upcoming years. It's really a pleasure to look out and see the beautiful color against the bright blue sky and it has mysteriously not lessened at all. Maybe because we have turned back to cold temps after having a spurt of summer temps? I also am enjoying the deep green of our currently thick lush yard and the leafing out of all the trees around. Our pool has been opened up for a few weeks but that solar cover can't really compete with 30 degree nights. It's gonna be awhile before I'm jumping in but it's encouraging to look out at the blue and know the time is coming.
We need to work on that split rail fence in the back and then this view will be perfection. Yesterday we were amused by a squirrel, hawk, and two aggressive crows all three tangling in this part of the yard. It was welcome entertainment to look out to while holed up at home. The craziest part was probably when the squirrel climbed over the edge of the pool and was on the cover to get a drink. I really didn't know how that was gonna end. It luckily was not a water burial but resulted in a refreshed rodent and smiles for us watching.
