popcorn trees

background: a few months ago, probably mid-to-late march, afton was really sad about the end of spring. i was sad to see spring fade to summer so fast too, but mostly just because it's so hot here in texas... either way, i was surprised by this sentiment from a 3-yr old. she explained it was because she liked the popcorn trees in the spring and didn't want them to go away (cute!)



so a week or two ago, she made a discovery, and she's been commenting on it ever since:

crepe myrtle trees

"look mama, popcorn trees in the middle of the summer!!!

"that's so funny, it's the middle of the summer!"
