Crape myrtle
The crape myrtle at the end of the driveway is at its peak for your birthday, Lizziebrod. I wish I could give it to you as a gift.
One hot summer, a cardinal raised her family there. She seemed annoyed whenever I would check on the progress of her brood.

I hope I am the first to say happy birthday to the crazy bird lady of St. Louis.
