Dogwoods Say "Spring is Coming!"

Having grown up in East Texas the coming of the Dogwoods means that Spring is fast approaching. The ugly little trees scattered throughout the hardwoods and pines of that region hide all year waiting for a few weeks of glorious arrival. The dogwoods are the first sign of life in the midst of the bare limbs, brown grasses, and somber remnants of a winter in East Texas. From Palestine, Texas to my hometown of Woodville, Texas, the dogwood's blooms are the reason for festival madness. The next time March rolls around pay attention to those brilliant white glimpses through the woods as you whiz by on the road. Spring is Coming!
