My tree?
New growth after a lightning strike. Charred, bits burned (including bone), deadwood and new leaves growing from burned bits. Healthy, functional, different. AND at first, like the tree in the pic, very much alone.....
no self pity, life is too short.

Good Morning Weekenders

Alpine love the cockroach story!

Zencat, I’m a little nuts myself.

Well the wind is certainly blowing here today….literally. The trees on the green across from me are bending and moving with the wind. But seemingly got their roots firmly established.

Love to all Weekenders xxxx

Chopstick, please do check in if it will help get through the weekend. You can do it.

We are supposed to be in for a windy day here as well with a front pushing through.

I love trees! "Wood is Good"
