Looking at your photograph, I thought what a brilliant print fabric that would make. I'm flabbergasted that it has been 27 years since you made your move east. But then again, I'm also flabbergasted that I have lived in my current house for 18 years. My husband sent a photo of a tree that we planted 30 years ago in a city we left 27 years ago (!), which now fully shades the house we once lived in. How time passes.
This is gorgeous! And I love the story❣️ Nature is the original miracle worker. I’ll bet you, Clara, and our little band of Neighbors are helping to keep the love and respect for Her alive and thriving❣️
Love this post! So much love and wisdom in it. I have a spider plant that my son brought home from kindergarten in a Dixie cup; he is 54 years old now, and the spider plant is still going strong. We have given away many of its “babies.”
Wow! You have one very special, extraordinary Dogwood there ~ I've never seen one with so many blooms! Please let her know that I am grateful for her wise and generous message.
There are 3 or 4 huge dogwoods on the street leading to our street (on Mercer Island, Seattle). They are the most gorgeous trees. I look forward to their spring flowers every year and marvel at them as I drive down the street.
There's something about Flowering dogwoods - they can be so resilient. Years ago I was given a tiny seedling that amazingly had overwintered in a clay pot at my mother's house in NJ. I planted it in my Pownal, Maine garden; it was not thought to be hardy enough to survive there back then. But it grew and like Clara's eventually bloomed into a great beauty. Clara's photo though is just incredibly beautiful - thank you, Clara, for the beauty and the memories!

Time is very surreal, isn't it?

Most beautiful dogwood I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

This is such a magnificent tree! And I love the story and quote!
Beautiful dogwood. Sweet story and wonderful quote.
That is a beautiful dogwood.
That is gorgeous, and I truly enjoyed the back story. I don’t believe we grow Dogwood in my neck of the woods (SoCal, Long Beach). . . .our loss.
There is a breed of Dogwood that grows in the Sierra. I've seen photos if it from Yosemite. But sadly, nothing here in Encinitas!
I believe I've also seen them in Oakland, (but didn't know what they were). They are eye-catching.
Oh! I love dogwoods, that is a beauty. Now can someone please flip the big switch.

I love that your Aunt Judy has contributed to the beauty of your home, patience is indeed virtue!
What a lovely and thoughtful tree.
