A tree to love… 3
Another Spring highlight for me is the first day I spot mature horse chestnut trees in bloom. Their flowers (some trees have pink, some have white) are larger than large with dozens of tiny florets. Their leaves are equally as large and a beautiful shade of green.
Standing beneath a chestnut tree, I like to let my eyes start at the base of the trunk and follow it right up to the top. It feels like a giant umbrella of beauty…

I just recently saw one of these trees and was wondering what kind of tree it was. Now I know. Thanks, Nancy.
