I forget how many trees surround my father's home. Living in Texas, my eye is always shocked when I go home - the world is enclosed in greenery, a bower of branches. Huge oaks soar The house is fifty-two years old. The trees are ancient Pennsylvania - hundreds of years
These trees have witnessed a lot of history.
Of all man's works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that. Henry Ward Beecher
We rake and rake and sweep the front porch, but soon the leaves rain down again.

I adore trees, especially old gnarled sprawling ones. Whenever we return to Georgia from a trip to Baltimore, I'm enthralled all over again with all the trees and greenery in our neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI love watching leaves falling from the trees, unfortunately the UK is wet, so it's not as colourful and crispy as usual - the wet sludgy leaves are quite pitiful.
ReplyDeleteI love trees. We have a couple of mature trees in our garden and I have been known to hug them... now I come to think about it, I've not done that for a while. Excuse me while I go for a hug. It's therapy!
ReplyDeleteI love trees; picking up leaves, not so much. But the prep for winter is so important.
