our tree

When we first moved into our house..almost 5 years ago... our neighbors from across the street said, "Oh good, now you can cut down that sad looking  tree." Apparently the previous owners had such a hard time keeping it healthy and honestly it didn't look like it was in the best shape. Now it is my absolutely favorite tree on the block in the spring. It is a great little climbing tree right in our front yard with the most beautiful purple blossoms.
I often find the kids sitting in it peacefully taking in the neighborhood around them. It is my first and last view I get going to and from home.

I love this little tree.
