Being Right

We have lived in this house over 8 years, which means that he have walked past this particular tree on an average of 4 times per day.  I love this tree as it is absolutely beautiful with lovely pink flowers in the spring, greenish/red apples in the summer and bright green foliage in the fall.

At least that is what I thought it looked like until I mentioned something to my husband.  Apparently, he believes the tree blooms twice a season with white blossoms in the summer. There is no way.

As absurd as it may seem, this has become a bit of an argument.  Now I could wait until the end of summer to prove my point to him.  That he is again wrong and not as observant as I am.  Or I could do the research on what kind of tree this is, what the blooming habits are and even go so far as to look at old photos taken in our yard over the summer.

The sad part is he's usually right.  I could swear that I saw something one way, and he proves me wrong via photos or collaborative agreement by friends and family.

It would be so easy to just concede and forget about it, of course after the lecture on my poor visual skills.  Research will take hours and really is it worth it simply to make sure I am right?

After much deliberation, I believe yes it is worth it.  Must prove I am right and be given the vulnerable "I TOLD YOU SO" award.  Off to the research desk.
