Thursday's Thoughts

This hug Camilla in my back yard was here when we

bought the place. It's over 8 feet tall and close to 60

years old. Almost all the flowers are milk white, with

a few pink petals showing up here and there. When

we started out house in 1990 we nestled it into the yard

and trees of the old house.

It had belonged to the Hendrickson's. They came by to

see what we had done to the place and approved of the

new house.

Both were so old and frail but Mrs. Hendrickson took

me around my new back yard and told me about every

tree and flower that she and her husband had planted

there. They had also planted the Olive orchard and the

original Orange orchard.

They've pass on now, but a Maple, Sycamore and the

biggest Tulip tree still stand. A Holly tree, Mock Orange,

Pink Ladies, Bears Breech and this Beautiful Camilla,

remind us that we were not the first and

we will not be the last.
