Catalpa trees are beautiful when young, with pink and white blossoms that last all summer. They don’t live long, but even in old age, the bare branches form a lovely winter silhouette against the morning sky.
Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to Emerson the Dog, aged 16. I picture him romping in heaven with all the other dogs who have faithfully loved and entertained their owners. I am grateful for everything he taught me.
Two weeks ago, I planted some seeds in my studio and placed them on warming pads. Most of them have sprouted. Now, if I can only keep them alive until it’s warm enough to move them outside…

I am so sorry to hear about Emerson. It’s hard to lose a pet that has been with you for that long. 😢 Karen

There is a European shrub Mistletoe. Not sure if it is related to what we call Mistletoe in Southern New Mexico. Looks can be deceiving in the plant world.
