Gratitude Monday: I talk to the trees

Today I’m expressing my gratitude for crape myrtle. I love these things—both as shrubs and trees. They bring brilliant colors to summer, usually right around my birthday.


We had a pink tree in our front yard when I was growing up, but they come in white, fuschia, lavender and red.


In Virginia they bloom a little earlier—around July. But back in California, they’re out now and I love walking around neighborhoods where they’re part of the landscaping.

Yes—I’m grateful for trees. And the people who planted them. I’m easily amused.
