The wind was sure blustery.I likened it to Neoga, the Iroquois goddess of the winds blowing through. <br />I love your new home. You have it furnished beautifully.

I often notice interesting tree bark on my wanderings - the old Cottonwoods around here have some of the most intriguing. <br /><br />It's a marvel all that incredible, valuable things trees provide and do for us, wildlife and the environment, from furnishing shelter, shade and bountiful food to inspiring poetry and worship to adding beauty and color to our world with their flowers, fruits and leaves to preventing erosion, providing oxygen and absorbing CO2. I shake my head at people that use the term "treehugger" as a snide insult. Why on earth <i>wouldn't</i> we feel compelled to hug trees? It's the least we can do! :-)<br /><br />Happy New Year, Barbara!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-7796957936810963132012-01-01T09:40:47.746-08:002012-01-01T09:40:47.746-08:00You have taken a great photo of this majestic tree...You have taken a great photo of this majestic tree. I love finding nut trees and d looking for nuts, although they are hard to find at this time of year. We have an old walnut out back and the squirrels have hidden all the nuts away. I will find them again next year when they sprout as trees in my garden. Dianneschmidleysscribblins.wordpress.comhttp://schmidleysscribblins.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
