It's 55 years old now and we all moved away, but my sister sent me pictures last year.<br />Despite that cottonwood I nurtured, my favorite tree was an old rough oak tree in the field. That's the tree I climbed to be alone from spring to fall. That's the tree that heard my secrets, absorbed my tears, and supported my bouncing joy.<br /><br />You got me wandering off on youtube to listen to Leonard Cohen again--LOL! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-21505179762460984762012-01-08T07:19:30.657-06:002012-01-08T07:19:30.657-06:00Cletis, It's really amazing, how trees can mak...Cletis, It's really amazing, how trees can make us feel so safe and loved, isn't it.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-49020402058580287882012-01-08T00:32:23.707-06:002012-01-08T00:32:23.707-06:00When I was a kid, I stayed under a big oak tree on...When I was a kid, I stayed under a big oak tree on the mountain ridge above the house.

I've been under the weather and only today am I returning to the blogging world. I'm reading the latest posting of each blog I follow. If you have one or more postings you'd like me to read from the past three weeks, please let me know and I'll do that.<br /><br />You are my cultural attache to the world beyond this home in which I live and breathe and have my being.<br /><br />Peace as ever and always.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-50960485493499789062012-01-06T16:14:01.548-06:002012-01-06T16:14:01.548-06:00Wow.

Yes, ...Hello Teresa, thank you for this great post. Yes, we could not live without trees. My morning walk would be nothing without trees. Each time I'll take a break on the hill with the four shady limes and with a view across the sea, and I touch one of them to feel the connection to nature itself.<br />I could not live in a place without trees. Oak, birch, beech, fir, rowan, lime, elm , maple - all of them. If the old oaks could talk! Like some of the others I've got a memory about my mother's tree. A chestnut was plant in grandma's garden when my mother was born. This tree means a lot to me.<br />So many thoughts jump up about trees. We live in a world where we have to fight to keep the rainforests. They are vital to all of us.<br />A beautiful poem. ´)<br />Cheers<br />GretheThyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-78623427041373238572012-01-05T23:47:48.993-06:002012-01-05T23:47:48.993-06:00I don't think I ever met a tree I didn't l...I don't think I ever met a tree I didn't love and wouldn't tell a secret to. Thankfully we are surrounded by trees here and I can commune with them, lovely post. Life is good with a little mystery in it.<br />For me it's always been the mighty oaks till Gary and I got married and then we had the most wonderful madrone tree in our yard. Now I'm not so particular, about any tree is a beauty to me, short, tall, round, small, I love them all for one reason or another.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-72286647095498215492012-01-05T23:38:29.418-06:002012-01-05T23:38:29.418-06:00those blue skies, I can hear Willie singingthose blue skies, I can hear Willie singingOut on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.com
