The Fly Bush

"Affectionately" known as the Fly Bush

my mother-in-law and stepfather-in-law

gave us this (huge) bush last year.

It was a transplant from their yard,

and we weren't sure it would survive the move.

This Spring more than one leaf turned yellow and died

making me wonder if we'd hold onto the view of this

waxy, green beauty.

Well, the Spring rains and compost were just

what she needed, and now she is back to her

shining glory.

And the flies have returned.

For some reason the bush attracts flies,

not hoards, mind you,

but just enough to make you wonder...
