5. Crape Myrtles always make me think of my mother.

We were on vacation to Ocean City Maryland once when I was small and my mother just loved the crape Myrtle bushes that were everywhere. She made my dad stop at a nursery to buy one and the man there asked us where we lived. My dad said, in Ohio, and the nursery man said if we lived north of Columbus he wouldn’t sell us one because it wouldn’t survive the winter. My mother was just heartbroken 😔.

I really love the wavy lines of the blooms in your first photo, Peggy. And the colors in the last one are gorgeous.
