Eastern Redbud: Spring's Early Pleasing Pastel of Magenta Pink

Kathleen, Me, too, I love the poem by May Frink Converse. Her words, "My heart will sing," written as a resident of Kansas, convey the sentiment which apparently was felt by pioneers in the neighboring state of Oklahoma upon being greeted by ...
