Brett and I have a 10 foot rhododendron in front of our house and, as I am writing this, it is in full bloom. For some reason, the plant didn’t bloom at all last year.  But this year it is a waterfall of beautiful, pink blossoms.  I always love it when this plant explodes with color, but this year it has become an important symbol for me.
