I so enjoyed this tale. I can just see you streaking down the mountain with one side of your hair hanging loose & bouncing backwards & forward with your running steps; the gingham ribbon in the other side slipping with the pounding motion. An intent but joyous expression upon your face and your breath coming fast, partly from excitement, partly from exertion. I imagine you were envisioning Aunt Betts reaction to your news. And you were soooooo ready to share the thrill of discovery with Aunt Bett who would be as thrilled as you were and proud of you too.
If at all possible to grow the Fringe tree on our property I will. I will have to see though as your story says it grows in damp places & I may not be able to grow it.
Thanks Sharon for sharing yourself with us.
PS - Lynn --- please take a photo of those fringe trees all in a line when they are in bloom this coming year & share it with us.
