When life is renewed

I’m revisiting this scene of my neighbor’s tree because now it looks like other trees with its dark green leaves standing in summer burnt lawn. But here, fresh from its winter rest standing in the springtime lawn it looks beautiful with its pink and red flower display. I’m feeling a bit of summer burn myself. A little achy, a bit itchy and scratchy from the bug bites. I need a reminder of those innocent days of spring when life begins anew each year full of color and promise. Here’s to the redbud tree. I hope to see you again this way in about nine months.
