Such beautiful flowers, I had the dog wood trees in Florida, not here though they are so very wonderful, yes Spring Thanks, thanks be to our heavenly father who created all this beauty for us to enjoy. God bless you Deb, and have a great weekend, Hugs, Barbara
I love spring, it's my favorite season when God's creation comes to life. There is something very beautiful about the dogwood tree, I've always loved the blooms. The one in your yard is very lovely. Thanks for sharing. Happy Mother's Day to you.
I love dogwood trees, and I especially love the poem entitled
The Legend of the Dogwood Tree (author unknown)
In Jesus' time, the dogwood grew To a stately size and a lovely hue. 'Twas strong and firm it's branches interwoven For the cross of Christ its timbers were chosen. Seeing the distress at this use of their wood Christ made a promise which still holds good: "Never again shall the dogwood grow Large enough to be used so. Slender and twisted, it shall be With blossoms like the cross for all to see. As blood stains the petals marked in brown The blossom's center wears a thorny crown. All who see it will remember Me Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree. Cherished and protected, this tree shall be A reminder to all of my agony."
"I am not a homemaker because I had too little ambition or education to make anything else of myself.
No~~ I am a homemaker because God has given me the infinite honor of being a wife, and I delight in employing every ability that He has equipped me with, in this glad career." Mrs. Lanier Ivester
"Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of; in nothing on which you might not pray for the blessing of God; in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed; in nothing which you might not safely and properly be found doing if death should surprise you in the act."

In Jesus' time, the dogwood grew
To a stately size and a lovely hue.
'Twas strong and firm it's branches interwoven
For the cross of Christ its timbers were chosen.
Seeing the distress at this use of their wood
Christ made a promise which still holds good:
"Never again shall the dogwood grow
Large enough to be used so.
Slender and twisted, it shall be
With blossoms like the cross for all to see.
As blood stains the petals marked in brown
The blossom's center wears a thorny crown.
All who see it will remember Me
Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree.
Cherished and protected, this tree shall be
A reminder to all of my agony."
I hope you will enjoy it as well.
