Walk Around the Yard : 5

These crepe myrtle leaves look like they could be fall leaves, but the leaves below (from a different crepe myrtle) reveal the true season with spring greens.

The Japanese maple could also trick you into thinking it's autumn, but the lavender azaleas in the background speak of a different season.

I miss fall. I'm not sure that I'm ready for spring and Easter. My personality is definitely fall.

I love this tree. It eases me into spring with its gradual turn from red to green. It centers me as I come and go from my home. It reaches into my heart and soul with its colors, gentle movements, quiet sounds, and cycles.
