I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a crape myrtle tree.
the colors are breathtaking
I saw these crape myrtles on my walk in the neighborhood today
the bright pink are my favorites
STOP to take a picture
almost home – I envy my neighbor’s crape myrtle trees
But then, I saw another picture at the top of my driveway…
I wish you would get out of that chair
Behold, the two cats that look for safe spaces to beat the summer heat – they are unimpressed with the lovely crape myrtles that thrive in the summers. Food and water, please. And the occasional kind words if you don’t mind.
And we don’t.

Stay cool, and please stay tuned.

Of course I have to be contrary. I love them best in winter when I enjoy their bark and “bone structure” free from the distraction of leaves and flowers. (I’m ruthlessly teasing you!!) If I have to chose a color, it would be the white flowered variety, Natchez, with its beautiful exfoliating, cinnamon colored bark. It’s rare to find it in people’s gardens this far north, though the pretty pink and mauve ones are popular closer to Philadelphia.

The crape myrtle in our yard is Ella’s favorite climbing tree, so she, too, much prefers them in winter when their limbs are free from the distractions of leaves and flowers. We have white, also, but I didn’t walk that way this morning!!
