When I remodeled my house in the mid 80’s, the kitchen windows were boarded up for three months. The day the boards were taken down, I was treated to a view that was breathtaking. While the tree is much bigger now, I feel as moved by what I am seeing from my kitchen window today as I did on that day in the 80’s. (In the 80’s it reached this stage mid April. Due to the warm winter, it is in full bloom on March 9.)
I’ve shared pictures of this tree several times lately but here is a collage of the progression between February 20 and today.
