Easter Dogwood

” . . . the blossoms shall be in the form of a cross; two long petals and two short. In the center of each petal there will be nail prints, crown with rust and stained with red. In the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns. And all who pass and see the Dogwood tree and will remember our Jesus and what he means to us." Author Unknown

Here is my macro shot of Hazel’s dogwood across the street.
























We didn’t get the freeze that was predicted last night, but it’s been really chilly for Easter Sunday. That’s okay; we’re so grateful for the farmers that their wheat wasn’t ruined. I’m really happy that my irises didn’t freeze; I look forward to a beautiful spring.

Jo Ann and Frank invited us to their home for dinner after church with both their family. Jack and Tillie of the canasta group joined us, as well. It was a beautiful and delicious dinner. After we cleaned up, we all played canasta; we’re so hooked! Tonight I am packing herbs for our next several days.

We are healthy and happy. Praise God! Our wish and prayers for you is the same gift!
