A Hidden Treasure

When we first moved into our home back in March our yard was lacking in beauty. Not that it is a home show yard now, but it looks much better thanks to Doug. One thing that really bothered us in the yard were all these trees that looked like they were dead, and they were just plain ugly. We have talked about so many time just pulling them out and replacing them with something else, but we are so glad we didn't. They are what I call our hidden treasure. Just over the past few weeks these beautiful trees called Crape Myrtles have started blooming and I love them! Who would have guessed? They are just late bloomers. It taught me a great lesson that sometimes you have to be patient to see real beauty!
