I haven’t done a Thursday Tree Love post since April 22nd, 2021, partly because the WordPress bloghop host Parul has been offline since early in May, when she and her husband contracted Covid (and partly because I’ve been so busy with so many things!). Thankfully they’re recovering now, and she’s back with a new post today, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a bit of an update on our landlady’s memorial tree that I featured in a Throwback Thursday post back in April.
Before I get on with the pictures, a quick shout out to my blogging friend Parul to say thank you for hosting this awesome blog hop every couple of weeks. You have been missed, and I was wicked happy to see your tweet earlier today, announcing you had a new post up! Still sending lots of healing thoughts to you and yours.
If you want to join in the Tree love blog hop fun, it’s really easy – here’s the description from her latest post today, called #ThursdayTreeLove – 109
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on June 24, 2021. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
As for these photos, they were taken in my Durham, NH yard with my Nikon which was affixed to my handy dandy tripod. All were resized, then cleaned up a bit with PicMonkey. I’ve included a handful from my post a couple months ago to remind everyone of what it looked like in the past, then a few from this past May (which is usually when it blooms, but it didn’t this year), and rounded it out with seven more that I took late afternoon today.
Now on with the photos!

That’s a very resilient tree 🙂
I have a memorial hisbicus in my yard dedicated to my late aunt, who loved these flowers. The first one I planted died after two years but its replacement is going strong. Not a tree – we have a small yard. Dwarf weeping cherry is what I would have guessed, too. That poor tree! But trees are tenacious. Hoping for the best, because these are lovely trees.ramblinwitham
The plant has recovered wonderfully. That heavy pruning did help! I am sure it will continue to flourish and blossom heartily in the next season! Its great that you have recorded the tree’s progress!
Thanks for all your wishes and keeping me in thoughts. It means a lot to me. This tree is sure such a symbol of resilience. Thanks for sharing!
I hope to see you back tomorrow, Traci. Hugs!
