Something is always blooming in Florida, it is simply beautiful here. And when the sun is shining and there is a light breeze on a low humidity day, it is as if you have arrived in paradise. We have had a number of those days recently and have loved every moment. So it was time to be outside and have our picture taken under one of my favorite trees. I have long admired this tree, a glorious blue green specimen that towers over everything.
And then there was the little bottle brush tree in our landscaping. The poor little thing had been butchered by the previous owners and was in pathetic shape when we moved in. Do we keep it and hope for the best or start over? When we considered the task ahead and the idea of spending even MORE money, we decided to give it a chance. Two seasons have passed and our dreary little tree has grown and taken on a lovely shape and is now blooming its little heart out. It will probably be at its peak after we leave but it is once again a happy plant. I am glad that we decided to give it a chance just as I am always grateful that God has never given up on me.
