Bottle tree and Granny quilting

Sharing again, my lemonade tree...

Because of our shady yard, the branches all go the same direction.

Hoping that direction is a good one... Bottle tree story:
My love and I had a tiff about the bottle tree.
We had an old crab apple tree that was ugly.  Cut it down I said.
 He refused.
 So I made it into a bottle tree. He hated it..take down the bottles..ugly.
 I said no, every respectable southern garden has a bottle tree.
Then it fell down on its own..the roots rotted..ugh..
Miraculously a starter came up next to it...now all grown up into a new tree.
A bottle tree...making lemonades out of lemons...
I love it so.
It reminds me of us.

 

 When life  is too hard...just "Go Sew" and so I am.

You will be happy to know that I am going to bed early tonight...lest I start the maudlin bit.

made me think of my mother and my dear man....
Such is the life...it is good to have each other.
