For the Dogwoods!!
Pretty pure white...
and a beautiful soft pink.
The pinks are my favorite, this tree is mine!!
The white one is Helen's,
I consider it to be "shared" because it is on the property line
and closer to my house then hers!!
I have been so busy with both fun and "necessary" things.
Fun...my niece's senior year art exhibit at Stockton College.
Stephanie is graduating from college in May.
She is, without doubt, one of the kindest souls I know.
I will be doing an entry on her exhibit soon.
"Necessary" and not fun...blood work, MRI, infusion (yesterday).
An increase in my nerve pain medication that is making me "swell",
but not swell/swell...swell fat!!
Picking out my fathers head stone and helping my mom with everything.
I adore taking pictures, scrap booking, crafting and gardening.
I love to walk at the beach, ride my bike and walk in the woods.
I love to write.
I would kill for a water soaked hot dog at Allaire Village today.
None of those things are going to happen today!!
If I have not been by to visit, please forgive me.
I read and appreciate all the sweet comments you leave here,
but I know there are a few blogs I have not visited that I should have!!
Sharing today with Nancy and Lisa for there
No "shoulds" in blog land, didn't you know??!! That's why I love it here! Sorry about the yucky reaction to the meds...rest as much as you can...and thanks for sharing "your two" trees with us!!

Ah I don't like that you have to have so much medical stuff going on. Boo Hoo. Any difficulties you have never show up in your photography. You are the most upbeat blogger I know. Take it easy.
ReplyDeleteYour proverbial plate is pretty full isn't it. And it's even harder when you aren't feeling all that great! Take care sweety!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I miss dogwood. I had a pink tree outside my front door in my old house in Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteYou have a plate that is much too full, my friend. How I wish I could help. Instead, YOU gave me something beautiful to look at today. Thank you, sweet one.
ReplyDeleteDon't you ever feel bad about not visiting or commenting on my blog,I understand. sometime life gets in the way. Hope you can at least find a little time to do the things you enjoy.

ReplyDeleteJust get well and and take care of your self. We love you.
Every year I think "ooh, I like white best" until I see a gorgeous pink in bloom. They're not as full & striking as last year, guess they needed some snow! Feel better.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about our reaction to the meds. Hopefully you will be good tomorrow and take the pictures that you always do and visit your favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers, but the pink is my favorite.
TFS, ANA
Get some rest.
You will be in my prayers and I hope your medical concerns will be healed soon. I too understand swelling and suffered with an illness that caused that. Lovely pictures and thoughts as usual. Love your post!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your medical problems - and meds - I am not sure what is wrong. I hope you get better soon. I love the flowers. Ever hear the Legend of the Dogwood Trees? love, sandie
