SPRING!!
Hurricane Helene devastated our CSRA area. You may not have seen us on the news if you dont live nearby. Not as much was lost as western NC with people's homes and lives washed away. But, we quietly cleaned up our houses (and lives) crushed by trees.
Here at Dogwood Ridge, we will probably never be able to clean up all the trees that fell (and continue to fall). We also assumed that most of the dogwoods did not survive from being blown over, broken, or crushed by other trees. Last year's spring did not bode well for the fragile dogwoods as we had so few trees announcing themselves in spring as they usually do.
THIS year, however, the dogwoods are back and more beautiful than ever! Even some trees that were broken, bent, or pulled down with other trees are showing their blooms proudly!
The Dogwoods prove how tough they can be, and show us that sometimes they just need some downtime to heal to bloom again!
