Sunny Dogwood

The dogwood in my yard holds special meaning for my family. We moved into our family home in the month of April, long ago, when the tree was in full bloom. Every April, despite whatever happens around me, I can count on the beauty of our blooming dogwood. Our tree demonstrates its perseverance every spring by adorning itself with a flourish of blossoms, despite past threats of fire, storms, broken branches, and climbing children.
