If so, this is what I want to put in my current yard. Mine was just a baby when I bought the townhome, and it was close to 15 feet tall six years later when I sold the house. Such lovely flowers and fast-growing shade!!!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-11409328816748085762012-06-17T22:50:55.014-05:002012-06-17T22:50:55.014-05:00We had a couple of catalpa trees in our yard when ...We had a couple of catalpa trees in our yard when we were kids, and we played with the flowers (made them 'talk,' sort of like snapdragon blooms), and used the leaves for plates and the 'cigars' that come later for utensils in our games of house. Love your description of the coloring of the flowers - you've given me a new appreciation of them.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956873259908320109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-66679556986485764572012-06-17T16:07:41.435-05:002012-06-17T16:07:41.435-05:00I am so amazed at the plants and trees you know!! ...I am so amazed at the plants and trees you know!!

But the women are all covered up. And during the summer months, most folks completely change their schedules so that sleep the day away and go out at night. I've been here 17 years and have never changed my schedule nor have I allowed my kids to do so. We all go to bed early, regardless the time of year. I am definitely getting my Vitamin D with all the walking I've been doing. Hubby and I went again this evening. :)<br /><br />Hope you are having a great day!
