I have wondered for a long time if crab apple was not related to rose. I don't know if you can see close enough if you click but check it out:
At anyrate, I enjoyed a warm day out in the sunshine-I am avoiding gardening because I want my hands to look marvelous for a job interview tomorrow-so I am using this time to pamper myself a bit. I went through a healing crisis of sorts last week-in a lot more pain than before but its seems to have subsided.
I continue to stick to the program and feel better about it today than I did the day before. Each day brings less challenges and I accept that there will always be something that tempts me away from my own good health.
I hope this post finds you well!
Apparently crab apple is part of the genus Malus, from the rose family - Rosaceae. So there you go! You were right, they are related. Spectacular blooms and gorgeous tree. Thanks for sharing the photo before the blossom danced away on the wind. I like the picture of you and I'm glad you feel comfortable sharing. Great skin for a vintage half-century! Must be all that lovely food you're eating. Keep up the great work and good luck with your interview! Not that you need it. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I knew it. Its amazing how once a person starts to garden its easy to identify related plants though this one is an easy one.
DeleteThanks re-the skin compliments. I still feel like my skins a bit puffed up but I'm afraid of looking gaunt so trying to accept that its okay to have a fuller face.It fills out the wrinkles!
You actually look like my aunt, when she was younger. I think she might be nearing 70 now? I've always had a fuller face, since I can remember, lol. Moon face, I believe its called. Probably due to the cheeks, inherited from the English side of my family. :)
DeleteI will take that as a compliment about your aunt:) I've always had an oval face but its filled out and I can't get used to it. I will have to obviously-but its odd to see it in photos. Its not as full in mirrors.
