Blooming first

 I happened to turn onto Church St. the other day, from downtown Black Mountain. I was surprised to see a beautiful blossoming tree!

It was only March 5th. What's going on?

It was already evening so I didn't get that wonderful of photos...

So I drove by again on Sunday, Mar 6...

A friend suggested it's a Bradford Pear, which are usually the first blooming trees around here. But the shape is wrong. It's still possible though.


Today's Quote:

Being able to listen well is a superpower. While listening to someone you love keep asking them “Is there more?”, until there is no more.

Learn how to learn from those you disagree with, or even offend you. See if you can find the truth in what they believe.
