The Magic Tree in the Yard

Make Space

Several years ago, I was weeding, getting rid of invasive plants to making space for what I wanted to grow. I stood in the corner of our front yard pointing to the ground and told my husband, “I want a red bud tree right here.” 

4 seasons of beauty

Now, It is a magically gorgeous tree. Its heart shaped leaves flutter in the breeze in summer, the limbs are sheathed with prolific tiny purple buds every spring, followed by a showy ruby toned fall finale before taking on winter’s stark profile against the gray Indiana sky. 

What MAGIC?

Thing is, I never actually planted that tree at all. To my amazement, it emerged from the ground on its own, only days after my pronouncement. Not kidding. 



A little help here...

As it grew, we helped it along, staking it up, and eventually pruning it to create a leader branch so that it could grow a beautiful umbrella of foliage. 

Manifest?

Magical free landscaping. Did I “manifest” the tree? Maybe, although red buds are pretty prolific at seeding themselves. It doesn’t’ matter how it got there. 



All Gift

All I know is, I made the space for this colorful home for birds and bees to spring up, with a wish. We nurtured it as it grew and it makes me smile every time I see it. A gift from nature. Exactly what I wanted, beauty nurtured into being. 

I hold space
