Auntie's Tree in Full Bloom

Auntie's tree is a glorious sight, as she always is.  Our weekend rain was a relief as it brought lower temperatures and ended the fire danger for a time.  I wish I could say I was "blooming" too but there really is no change and I'm weak as a lamb.  I'm afraid, barring a miracle, I won't be traveling to Scotland this week.

I just notice that last year on this day I posted a photo of the tree with a picture of my aunt.  I was recovering from pneumonia then and here we are a year later and I'm trying to recover from acute bronchitis.  I hope this doesn't become an annual event.
