“The great thing about getting older is
that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.”
—Madeleine L’Engle, American writer
It was a delight to see this dogwood blooming down the street a couple of months ago. It lives in front of the home of a young couple with a toddler and two dogs. Marley and I stop and talk to them during our walks. One of their dogs is a 16-year-old hound named Boomer. When Boomer sees us coming, he ambles over to the fence to say hello. Their 67 Buick is in good shape and still runs!

This is a beautiful post! I love the bittersweet feeling of looking at a classic car and the blooming dogwood. It reminds me of the beauty of life and the passing of time. The quote is so true, and I especially love how it’s illustrated by Boomer. He is a reminder of all the years he’s been with the family, which is a testament to the bond they share. I’m so glad you shared this post with us. Thank you to the author for sharing such a lovely story.
