Dogwood tree

I purchased this tree with a gift certificate to Faddegon's nursery when John's dad passed away which was in  April of 2005.  This year we have had a lot of rain and it is really doing well.  It is in the front yard which faces north.  It's a little small for the space and I often wish I hadn't planted it there but this year it's a good thing.  I like looking out my bathroom window when I'm putting on my makeup in the morning.  It's beautiful. I will miss seeing the beautiful blooms once they drop.
