Here is the white version of the dogwood. I wonder if this is a different variety than we have. This is my neighbor across the street's tree. They went away on vacation and I was watching their house. Stinks that they missed their tree blooming so prettily. But then again, they were in Southern California so maybe they didn't care:).
Thanks for your sweet words about Clara being sick. Yesterday, at her insistence, I sent her back to school. She was fine but for sick, tired eyes. I worried throughout the day that she would wear herself out or that I would get a call from the nurse. My mom works at the school, so I texted and asked for her to see how Clara was doing for me. She was fine, did fine and was her normal peppy self in the evening. Grateful that she bounced back fine and fast.
Since I'm so far behind I didn't know Clara was sick , I'm sorry. Glad to hear she's already better.
