Aunt Ree Ree was a fan dancer in the '30s. She traveled to Hawai'i and Mexico.
There was a large mimosa in her front yard and on summer evenings we'd sit on her porch and enjoy its scent.
When, in '91 i sold my house, i brought a mimosa w me. When Sofie (the cat), Antoinette (the tortoise) and I moved in w Michelle we soon planted it, a nub barely two inches above ground. After 35 years in the shade of three large trees: an elm and two cottonwoods, it's remained diminutive. But it blossoms profusely and adds its wonderful scent and reminder of days of yore.
