Devin’s Tree

April 19, 2008 — 12:16 pm

Devin’s tree is budding, little bits of green growing on its branches, slowly opening. The green buds with the reddish bark is just gorgeous.

The funny thing is that up to the weekend of Devin’s memorial it was quite cold. But for that day we needed the extra space, so we opened up the 3-seasons breezeway. And we never had to close it back up…. from that weekend it’s been quite nice, becoming nicer. Devin’s memorial ushered in spring. Somehow that seemed just right.

    The pictures of Devin’s tree budding and your comment of Devin “ushering” in spring has me in tears – what a beautiful thought.

    Best wishes.

    Devin’s tree is beautiful. I think it is fitting that his memorial brought the spring with it.

    I saw this, and my jaw dropped. Literally. I LOVE it Nat, it’s such a beautiful tribute to him.

    By the way, sorry that I stayed far from the religion debate in the previous two posts – you know where I stand and I didn’t want to say it twice ;)

    What kind of tree did you pick for Devin??? I had a plaque made and planted Zak’s birth tree for S for Fathers Day after Zak died.
    When we moved it was too hot for the tree and it died but we re potted a Geisha Girl and its really lovely. Has a beautiful blue/purple flower that smells like vanilla.

    Cant wait to see pics of Devins tree in full bloom.

    Hugs
