Sometimes I think it's more about fashion than accomplishment... but maybe that's sour grapes. No way to figure out a jury.<br /><br />I believe your tree is a flowering locust tree...maybe a purple robe, but they are a little more vivid in color than your picture shows. Your garden pictures are so lovely. The moody evening sky is a wonder to see as well. Aint life grand (bumps and all).Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338712273383751320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-6858304336531927352010-04-26T11:52:43.880-05:002010-04-26T11:52:43.880-05:00Yesterday was mid 50s and spotty rain.

It's nice to have these cooler days 'cause when the heat of summer gets here we'll not be seeing many flowers as they will have burned up.

Wow times two.<br /><br />I'm glad life is good, and that you're enjoying yourself.

Your garden blooms make for a colourful environment - just beautiful and always a source of wonder, encouragement and comfort when the quirks of life disappoint.<br /><br />I have always found it hard to be pro-active with regard to promoting myself, my work or my art - and even more so now as I get older. I'd rather just work at the artistic end of things - but then how is anyone ever going to see it or buy it? Fortunately, that is not so important to me.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-55105053227171050672010-04-26T06:55:05.396-05:002010-04-26T06:55:05.396-05:00You are so immersed in spring's beauty and lif...You are so immersed in spring's beauty and life's goodness ...
