We have the pleasure of looking at the prettiest pink Azalea bushes everyday. They are huge & A-mazing -& right across the street. I guess you believe me when I say, I open every window treatment first thing in the morning. This glorious colorful season just has a few days left. I’m trying to take it…

Everyday, I drive by this house. It is literally around the corner. When her tree burst with blooms & the flowers started dropping it’s petals here & there – I couldn’t resist. I knew it was the perfect opportunity to place my little pixie right in the middle of it all. Little did I know, the…

I really don’t know how else to describe this tree of pure beauty. We look forward to view her splendor every Spring and Fall. But yet, know one is “for sure” as to what kind of tree it is. All I know is that, it is a real treat to look out our window and…
