Photo of the Week - Mother's Day, 2012

I imagine many of us know the expression: When God closes a door, he opens a window. Well, this weekend, I experienced something similar: When God takes a tree, he plants some flowers. I treked to Bluffton for Mother's Day. Just in time to see trees on Summit Avenue (my childhood home) be cut down. The trees in Mom and Dad's front yard sit directly above a gas pipeline. These and many others in the neighborhood needed to be cut. Sad times for this tree hugger who loved the shade and beauty of these trees. But, we took joy in planting flowers around the house. Videos of the trees coming down can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1lirbfqmp0UK-PUh8YZnw?feature=results_main

While I was gone, Jeff and the boys fended for themselves and spent the afternnon shooting clay pigeons...Just had to add this cute photo in too.
