Easy Sunday Dog(wood) Tale

This dogwood just sprouted in our yard years and years ago.
It has lived through much abuse (not by us) major back of the house renovation,
when it was pretty much cut down.  Ice storms, hurricanes!! OH if it could talk.
It is like a Timex watch it just keeps on (s)ticking in spite of it all 'abuse'.
This year, the fall colors on it were spectacular. Best of all about 8 months of the 
year when it is covered with leaves it is the perfect spot for two dishes of water for our fine feathered friends and  some furry friends.

  4. It is a very colorful and pretty tree! I love dogwoods, they get that beautiful canopy shape. I miss our dogwoods back on the Tiny Ten but I have some gorgeous pictures to keep for memories.

  7. We've been watching some tree seedlings in our yard. The evil squirrels accidentally planted them when they buried their acorns and then forgot about them. Oh and our yard would be wall to wall silver maples if not for the lawn mower! Good luck to that little dogwood!

  8. The dogwood is such a lovely tree when it is in full bloom. Yours looks very nice with its colorful leaves. some of the trees in our area are taking a beating today . They are still full of leaves and we have a very heavy wet snowstorm with those flakes weighing down the big trees.
