For Mother's Day, we kids got my mom a hibiscus tree. Her gardenia tree died from last year a few weeks before this Mother's Day, so she definitely needed another kind of tree!
When I was little, the tree I loved at our house was a willow in our backyard. It was the biggest tree I'd ever seen. I loved to go sit and read under it during the summer. The branches made a canopy hanging over almost touching the ground.
Speaking of trees, today's song refers to the willow tree. Here's the jazz standard "Willow Weep for Me" sung by Ella Fitzgerald.
This song was the first solo I ever had in jazz band in college...funny, huh!
