i love this post so much! Bea you are like a great wise tree! i love the picture of the great pine tree on the haw and i am thinking of the great sequoia General Sherman and praying no harm will come to it in the terrible fires raging in California! we have agreat huge elm between Miss Janet’s house and ours! the big storm cell we had in Walkerton in July took many of our trees and even blew out all of the windows of Miss Janet’s house( which was built in the 1700’s!) but the house and elm survived and lived to tell the tale!
I am a HUGE tree fan. My most favorite is a willow tree in a cove at our home in Rhode Island. It's toweringly tall and provides a habitat for many birds. It's getting older, and we haven't trimmed out the deadwood because it provides that all - important habitat (where birds can perch and see what's coming or going or down in the water). But old trees do need pruning. The most important advice I always give to new homebuyers is that you are buying the trees too! And it ain't always cheap to take care of them (especially initially, if as happens so often they have been neglected. I will share a photo.
I love this photo and look forward to sending you one of my favorites!
