Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

Surrounded By Beauty

I wish I could say this is my crape myrtle, but It actually belongs to my neighbor. She works so hard in her yard, and it really shows. This small tree sits at the side of her house facing ours, and when I'm sitting in my chair in the TV room, I can look out the window and see it. During the winter, it drops its leaves, and serves as a playground for red cardinals. As Spring arrives, she prunes the branches, causing it to leaf out beautifully, finally blooming in the Summer. Beautiful! I just may have to have a crape myrtle of my own someday, but until then, I'll just sit back and enjoy hers.
