The View from My Chair

As I sat on the patio sipping coffee this morning, I took note of how nicely my neighbor's Crape Myrtle (Basham's Party Pink, maybe) contributed to my view. Later in the day, as I spent some time cooling off in the pool, I watched petals wafting through the air and falling on the water, casting strange and wonderful shadows on the bottom of the pool.

Three things to be thankful for today: coffee, that beautiful crape myrtle, and generous neighbors.
