SMOKE
and flowers
I miss Spring, and it is October. I miss the flowers. Well, I miss the dogwoods in particular. Did you know that in addition to being lovely to look at, that there are species of dogwood trees that bear fruit? There are even varieties whose wood is lovely for smoking meats and vegetables. And then there’s the art. Yep, where I live, dogwoods are accompanied by art–like the art in this next Call. Take a look…
