Sparkle



As my hair became streaked with gray, my eyebrows paled until they disappeared.

At the makeup counter at CVS, I chose the "Light Blond" shade of eyebrow pencil. It gave my eyes a little sparkle.

That first week at work, no one said anything. On Friday, I met my daughter for lunch. She looked at me, "You want to be an old lady with painted eyebrows?"

Here are some color changes that look more natural.




Oxydendron arboreum

This sourwood tree was an online purchase from Woodlanders in Aiken, SC. It arrived only 6 inches tall. In summer, the blooms are like lilies of the valley. In autumn, the warm and rich colors can be seen from a distance.




Ptelea trifoliata


I also ordered this wafer ash from Woodlanders. I have never seen any wafers on it but I enjoy the gold tones in the sunlight.





Cornus florida

I bought this dogwood tree at a local garden shop in autumn and asked the owner for a white one to bring out the purple tones in the Japanese maple behind it. That first spring it bloomed a deep pink color. Both the spring and autumn colors clash with purple maple, but it is still a beautiful tree.

Your eyes sparkle naturally. You are as beautiful as your gardens.

Meg,
LOL about the eyebrows. Daughters tell the truth, no matter how painful. One good thing about sons: they never notice these things. Anyway, I think you have aged well, and am jealous of your youthful good looks.
