It doesn't even show its first buds until other trees are in full bloom, no it creates an atmosphere of delightful anticipation like a Christmas in April waiting for it to bloom. For the past two weeks I have run outside every morning to check its progress and see if it had bloomed yet, well Saturday it did. I smiled so bright and so wide the neighbors must have thought I was batty, but it is just gorgeous!!!

Sadly my beautiful dogwood did not bloom this year.The tree is alive, but didn't reach full bloom.
Anyhoo, I wanted to comment on your excellent Frugal Friday feature. I have always enjoyed frugality as sort of a hobby, but my husband is less inclined to "struggle" in good times. I tell him the good times could come crashing down, and I like to be prepared. We have reached something of a compromise over the years. My current goal is saving $100,000 by the time my daughter is in first grade. That's $700/month plus $10K at bonus time. So far we are on track (two years in). Food costs are killing us, though. I paid $8 for organic butter! Looking forward to sharing ideas...
