Get Shouty

On Commonwealth Street there’s a brave mulberry tree that has been making me cheer for weeks.

It’s neighbours, a dour line of plane trees, are still steadfastly keeping friends with Winter while this gadabout put on it’s Spring greenery and solely lead SOGO’s charge into the new season.

Nice work tree. Sometimes it’s lonely to know the future, and an early bloom can make you venerable to a cold snap, but when you know what’s coming it’s not a risk.

You can’t help but inspire the rest of us.
