If only we all could take a cue from Kousa dogwood, which as its flowers fade from their perfect prime ripen into beautiful fruit. All ages have their own beauty, not just the young buds.
Click here for a handful of images of Kousa dogwood blossoms fading into fruit. The weekend promises to be sunny here in Massachusetts, so I plan to spend as much time as possible outside and unplugged. Happy weekend, everyone!

I love to see the kousas in bloom. Our little version blooms a bit, but it is young.
I also like the pink kousas.
