Dogwood is in bloom in southern Ohio. This tree in my backyard has only a few blooms so far but it’s my favorite thing right now.
Dogwood is known for its symbolism, particularly in Christianity as it’s thought to represent the resurrection of Christ. The cross that Jesus was crucified on was made from dogwood.
In general, dogwood symbolizes hope, purity and renewaL Maybe that’s why I like them so much. It seems I’m constantly on the verge of a fresh start and hopeful that better days are ahead. I never really get to where I want to be but keep trying anyway.
Today is no different and I’m sure tomorrow will be the same as well. Bring on the hope, today is a new day. The dogwood is in bloom.
Dogwood blossoms are so pretty
They are! And they seems so unique to me as well.
Lovely blossoms. Our dogwoods have clusters of very tiny flowers.
Well, I expect that you sometimes DO get where you want to be. I’ve seen some of those places here on your blog! But in life, too.
I’m a little bit aimless in my actual life but sure do enjoy the sightseeing!
