Happy purple tree season to all who celebrate.
We're not quite to purple tree lined streets yet. Just a few have started blooming. But they're already making a mess...
Those blooms are thick. And squishy. And they make a mess. This is why these trees get lots of hate from the locals.
But last year I read lots of "ooh, wow" online about these. And it's Saturday and J-day, so why not?
It is a striking color.
Are there any things local to you that tourists love but you hate? What sort of colors are popping up around you?
Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...
Nothing in answer to the tourists - because I don't know. But the trees in front of our house drop leaves year-round. Like there is three months out of the year I don't need to sweep the street every two days (I do it about once a week) to keep the debris under control. But I love the cool they bring in Texas, I love the green, I love the squirrel and birds. Yes, it is a fight to have anything resembling a lawn or even a moss instead of dirt, but the trees are worth it.
ReplyDeleteI actually love them and don’t mind the mess at all! I would rather see flowers carpeting the sidewalk than cigarette butts and firecracker debris!
ReplyDeleteI remember saying oooh, wow when I saw them on one of my visits to L.A. They are so pretty and purple-y. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think they're beautiful, because I don't have one near me and am not responsible for the clean up!
