Crepe myrtle. by Joan Steinke

From Joanie:

There isn’t much going on here in Tropicana.  Everyone is watching the weather for the possibility of a storm.  We did have a great “soaking” type rain most of the day today.  It was good for our new sod.  A tornado touched down in Naples but we didn’t have any real effects from it.

I’m posting a picture of a crepe myrtle tree that’s in Rich and Gerry Hipp’s front yard.  They look a little like a lilac tree when in bloom, if you are familiar with one of those.
