We have painted water towers, but nothing so impressive. That was a long trip to take! In the medians and sides of roads we have Bradford pears that spring up, bird-planted, I imagine. A little further south I was surprised to see magnolias, full grown sometimes, sprung up. I like seeing flowering trees on a drive.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-91540786917665854272020-09-16T04:32:39.037+10:002020-09-16T04:32:39.037+10:00Wonderful.
