  5. Wise words. I have planted some gorgeous trees in our various home and then we move when they start to mature. But, they are still there for others to enjoy.

  6. I planted trees like crazy out front when we first moved here and now I am out of room. I can't believe how big they got. Son and Daughter planted trees they brought home in a cup and now they are huge.

  8. I'm not sure why, but this post brought sadness to me. I remember hearing on the news that many of the very old growth redwood trees in California have been killed by one of the fires raging. Between these devastating fires and the multiple hurricanes, I wonder how anyone can deny climate change.
