Rain Rain Go Away

We have a project to do outside this weekend.  It's getting done rain or shine!  It's really the only thing we have to do this weekend!!!  

Our good family friends, the Rays, gave us a Pink Dogwood Tree to plant in honor of Battley.

Here is what the blooms will look like:

Aren't they beautiful?  And so fitting that it's a pink tree!

My mom used to teach a children's sermon during church when we were younger.  I remember that she used to talk about the Dogwood in our yard and used it in a sermon one time.  She has a white one in her yard.

The Dogwood blooms right before Easter.  She used to tell us that the flower was like a cross and the center was a crown of thorns.  The edges sometimes get more brown/purple and look like blood too.

I'm really excited about planting it so we will be able to enjoy it everyday.  We've picked the perfect spot in the backyard where we can enjoy from the patio or from the kitchen/breakfast room window!  Then if we ever move, we can just take the tree with us.
