Inauguration!

Inauguration...a beginning.

I woke up this morning listening to the inauguration preparations on the radio. I am quietly thrilled by so many people coming together and cautiously optimistic that we can effect positive change.

In order to commemorate the day I attached a flag to our front yard tree, Burr Oak Obama. Here is Burr Oak Obama, facing into the sunrise, just as President-Elect Obama is at this very moment facing an exciting new day full of challenges.

I don't plan to write about my political leanings in this blog, but suffice it to say I have never named any of my bushes "George."
