They are fun to look at and a good reminder of what was there before.marthaslavin.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103331217021325363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202288049668006882.post-436971188061317882017-01-12T15:28:31.013-08:002017-01-12T15:28:31.013-08:00Thank you, Lori.

Check out the website Treewhispers. Pamela Paulsrud has put together a beautiful exhibit with stories of trees from all over the country.

I'm just throwing out ideas because I know, as a fellow writer, that sometimes prompts can get you started! <br />These bears join two other groups of bears in our backyard.marthaslavin.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103331217021325363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202288049668006882.post-91125869619850319182016-12-27T11:55:37.048-08:002016-12-27T11:55:37.048-08:00Yes, trees are hard to cut down.

They all grew differently due to seedling variation but we loved them. Big leaves to rake into piles in fall, bare winter branches limber and constantly moving in the breeze, thick deep shade when the days were hot and still. The sell of damp Sycamore leaves takes me back instantly to those years. Now I live where a county park has groves of native Sycamores along an ancient creek. Some are 100 ft tall with trunks big enough to become banquet tables. I'm in heaven there in Biddle Park--winter, spring, summer or fall--and 6 years old again.<br />suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202288049668006882.post-2731559694378171172016-12-24T08:56:45.909-08:002016-12-24T08:56:45.909-08:00Sad, cute, poetic.

So cute and a wonderful way to "re-purpose" those stumps.<br /><br />I don't have a tree story but I lose a 75-100 ft pine almost every year to disease. Those tree climbers who bring them down safely are amazing to watch.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
