With it becoming spring outside, I just noticed today how beautiful our Japanese Maple looks. When I first bought this house over 6 years ago, it was mostly all older retired people living in this neighborhood. I had 2 such couples living across the street from me. Since it was 3 girl living here, they kind of kept an eye on the place and checked in on us regularly. One couple, Dub and Berta became pretty close to us, Dub always brought fresh vegetables from his garden and we enjoyed going over to visit with him at their home. He of course fell in love with Brandon when he met him and really formed a bond with him as well. It's been 5 years ago now since we planted a little twig from a japanese maple he was growing and it's appropriate that now it blooms beautifully! He passed away over a year ago and Brandon and I just paused a minute today when we were admiring that and thought ol' Dub and what a neat man he was to know.

People named Dub are pretty special. My papaw's name was Dub and he sounds a lot like the one you know. What a sweet story.
