delicate pink spring

Well, I guess I'll be in the market for a new cherry tree this spring.

I'm rather sad to report that my pretty weeping cherry tree on the front yard is a-goner. 8-((

I noticed last spring that it didn't bloom as brilliantly as usual, and it hardly got any leaves during the summer. On closer examination I realized that it seemed to have picked up some kind of borer bug that attacked it at the base and had basically killed it. 8-(((

This spring we'll take it down and I'll replace it with something new.
