Bush Burning

Another sure sign that fall is here: the Burning Bush (Euonymus alata.) Green all season long, it turns this beautiful crimson when the temperature starts to cool.

Here it is with it's neighbors in the LipsYard, the Hydrangea and the Sand Cherry (Prunus pumila.)

Here's another Bush, burning through your tax dollars in Iraq, has just asked Congress for another $46 billion dollars. Look over to the left of this blog to see how much we've spent so far. He even questioned anyone's support of the troops if they vote "no." "I know some in Congress are against the war and are seeking ways to demonstrate that opposition. I recognize their position and they should make their views heard. But they ought to make sure our troops have what it takes to succeed."

Coming home alive would be a success, too, wouldn't it?
