“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I
would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”
― George Eliot

This BurningBush (Euonymus alata) was a mere stick brought home in a little hand years ago- "Mommy look at my tree, can we plant it, can we plant it, Now?!!!" Our elementary schools celebrate Arbor Day and send home seedlings. I have 3 kids and at that time, days were full in different ways than they are now. We hastily planted it in a Whiskey Barrel Flower pot near our doorway. The deer did not eat it and today it is a beautiful bush. This time of year it becomes this brilliant red.
My kids are no longer kids at 13,17,19 but I love remembering that moment when I see this beautiful bush.

Beautiful! We are far from Fall here in Florida....
tyWhen I was a kid, my dad planted a Burning Bush right outside the back door of our house in Milwaukee. By this time of the year, there was no doubt as to how it came to be named.
