come the azaleas. Around the South they are in bloom now.
This is the house in Atlanta where Buddy and his sisters grew up and lived their whole life. The house was finished in 1942, built by Buddy's dad for his new family. I am sure everyone in the neighborhood looked forward to the blooming of the pink azalea bushes out front every year. I don't know for sure who had the green thumb in the family, but I would wager it was TwoMama.
I have planted many azaleas
over the years,
as usual not having much luck,
except with this one,
it has been here over 10 years,
and every year I am amazed.
