I'm going to enlarge this on Photocopy Paper so I will have a pic to take with me, if and when Cliff and I move! If I find a home with a Dogwood outside the kitchen window where there is a sink......I WILL KNOW IT WILL BE THE HOUSE GOD HAS CHOSEN FOR ME TO BUY!!'

I told that to Cliff.....because I sure will miss my Dogwood.....We see birds, squirrels, butterflies in the tree and rabbits on the ground! Mama and Papa birds feed their babies in the springtime while the little ones hang onto the limbs.....they are so cute to watch and all the colors are tremendous, as God is Awesome!! :angel:

very nice pic...when I get tired of looking at the frog on my desktop I will post this one there in its place...:clapping:
 
...that is a gorgeous dogwood, so full of blooms. When we bought our house 4 years ago there was a beautiful, large white dogwood outside of our kitchen window. The tree was beautiful, with limbs stretching out towards the kitchen window and we put hummingbird and bird feeders in it. The first spring it was so full of blooms it was hard to see through it. The next spring there were only a few blooms and I was worried that maybe it was going to die. The following spring it didn't bloom or produce any leaves. I sure hated cutting it down because it was such a beautiful tree.

Thank you everyone! The Dogwood is about 33 years old, as Tami will be 40 this fall! I hope it doesn't die but if it does then I will know I am supposed to move for sure! Wouldn't live long enough to see another one that old and big with such beautiful blooms! I get lots of comments on how beautiful it is and it is just as pretty in the Fall when the leaves turn bright red.....Showing the pure blood shed by Christ Jesus! :angel:

Sorry to hear Doug that your Dogwood tree died and there was one in the backyard when my ex and I moved here in 74, but it had bore worms I think and the trunk was wrapped up to the limbs! It was still not very large when we had to cut it down!

My neighbor has a pink Dogwood which is still young but a good size and it is beautiful when blooming and he planted Daffodils circling around the bottom and what a site to see when they are blooming together....but usually the flowers are almost gone when the Dogwoods are in bloom!

God Bless! :angel:

No, I really don't, Lorraine, but could have been a disease of some kind that killed it! I know trees get insects and pests in them like the bore worms which attack dogwood trees! Also could have been a hard winter one or two times that it couldn't overcome!

I'm sorry you lost it though because they are so pretty to look at (all seasons) and with the animals, especially birds of various sizes and colors, a person never gets tired of looking at God's marvelous creations! The white flowers have a crown in the middle that is always there even when the blooms are gone and each flower has four petals with a dark imprint that looks like a nailscar representing spikes being driven into Jesus' hands and feet! The green leaves on it are for the life He had on earth and then everlasting life, and the bright red leaves in the fall shows the precious blood He shed for every sinner and there are red berries the birds eat during the Fall and Winter. When the snow covers it....His purity is there again and it had Hoarfrost all over it one time and it was soooo pretty like white lace made of icy frost but I wasn't able to get a pic of it as I was out of film for my Polaroid Camera! :sad:

When Tami brought the Dogwood and the Lilac home to be planted, we chose the place outside of the kitchen window and I've never been sorry and always happy about planting it where we did! God knew I needed it for comfort during the divorce and afterwards that He was the One Who had it planned all along! God is Wonderful, AWESOME and what an Almighty God He is! Praise God and Thank You, Jesus! :angel:

God Bless!

Thank you, Bryce! How is the weather doing where you live? Did you get your basement taken care of? St. Louis has had 28 inches of rain this year already and only had about 7 or 8 inches last year! The watertable should be filling up to what it was, as it was really getting low!

Raining so much that Cliff and I can't keep the grass mowed enough from it being too high when it is cut! Oh well I'm glad we have rain and not that hot, dry weather of last summer and fall! :sad: :)

God Bless! :angel:

Thank you Mike! Cliff and I were looking out the kitchen window this morning watching the birds fly in and out of it! Also Dandelion seed floating all over the place and I'll have pllenty more to dig up when they land and take root! :sad:

God Bless! :angel:
