Dogwoods of Kentucky

http://www.wordlesswednesday.com/newhome/
I was visiting my son today and his
dogwoods are beautifully in full bloom.
Although it is an exceptional day for this time
of year, the storm clouds are rolling into the area.
I not sure, if I like the pink or the white one's the best.
Which color do you prefer?


My son, like many others in town, has one of each.
I  planted  two last year; they are just getting buds.
Hope I live long enough to see them bloom.
They are slow growers.


As we drove though the campus, I
took a few photos of the dogwoods in bloom.
This is not as bright pink as the one in my son's yard.

I am beginning to think I prefer the white  dogwoods.
This is a one horse town for shopping,
but nature's beauty abounds.
I looked in every  store today
for some pastel candles.
No luck. I love living here until I want to shop.
I have to drive an hour or two to find things I want.
You can buy the necessities.

I will stop my whining and
be thankful for all we have.
I do enjoy the beauty God has blessed us with
 each day and that I am here to enjoy it.
I hope  you are having a beautiful spring.
Come back and see my Easter table.
I may not have the color candles that I want,
but there will be some colored candles.

  4. Jo, those are certainly beautiful dogwoods! We would welcome any dogwoods that would live for us long enough to bloom! For some reason we don't have much luck with them.:-( If I could choose, I prefer pink, though I think the white is probably more common. Anyway, they are in bloom around here, about two-three weeks ahead of schedule.

  5. Jo your photos are beautiful. I love dogwoods. When we lived in Cape Girardeau, we had two huge white ones in the front yard and four pinks in the back yard so I love both colors, don't think I can say which I prefer.

  8. Jo, Great photos and the dogwoods are gorgeous. When pink dogwoods first started appearing years ago, I wasn't sure I liked them because I love the white so much, but now I'm liking them a lot...but still the white is my favorite. I especially like seeing the wild ones in wooded areas along the roads.

  14. Well, since we have a gorgeous PINK Dogwood in our front yard, I guess I'm partial to the pinks. HOWEVER my parents had one of each (side by side) in our yard in my family home ---and they are awesome... SO--I'll take one of each... ha

    Have a great day, Joann.
    Hugs,

  16. Wow these photos are all so gorgeous. It is snowing AGAIN here today. I just long for spring flowers. Although driving to the store today I actually did see a tree just beginning to blossom in Pink. I almost ran off the road looking at it.(smile) I can hardly wait to see your Easter Table. I know it will be just gorgeous! Candles or not! And by the way what time is dinner?

    Thanks for your wonderful comments on my posts Joann. (without an e...smile) You'll never know how much they mean to me. I am so grateful for your support and friendship.

    Big Hugs,

  27. Our dogwoods here in East Texas came and went very fast this year. Your pictures are spectacular. I have decided I like the white ones the best. The pink is very pretty from a distance, but I like to take closeups of the blossoms and I think the white ones are more beautiful.
