In spite of Oklahoma's horrendously hot and dry spells, trees still flourish here. <br /><br />Sadly we have had to have three (or is it four?) of our own huge trees Cottonwood and Maple) cut down (at ENORMOUS expense) because they were old and diseased, so posed a danger during tornado/storm times to ours and a neighbouring house. We've made up for the loss by having two Redbud trees planted, and a Crepe Myrtle bush - all growing well currently in spite of near drought conditions. The two Redbuds looked sickly after transplant for months, but came back with aplomb this spring. <br /><br />I'll be a Redbud then (it's OK's State tree I think). Like our two, I was transplanted - not sure I came back with much aplomb - but I AM still here. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-25871522541665082992018-07-25T12:58:43.657-02:302018-07-25T12:58:43.657-02:30I hate leaving my Mabel too, she who had risen fro...I hate leaving my Mabel too, she who had risen from the dead, though I passed her this weekend and she still thrives.

Lots and lots of trees. Our favorite part was th Redwoods. I cannot explain the feeling while you are standing among those towering trees. The ferns at the bottom of the trees were as tall as my husband. I could have stayed there for alot longer than we did. Two days!!! I felt a presence of something spiritual there. It is mystical and awe inspiring.

The flowering magnolia tree continues sharing its beauty. Memories come to mind of towering oaks inning both sides of the lane, leaning toward each other to form a canopy with branches entwined reaching welcomingly toward the moisture-filled clouds. They all speak to me. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />reaching into the skyJoaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155775053108104385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-20960182700588493352018-07-24T20:46:05.302-02:302018-07-24T20:46:05.302-02:30Oh-h-h, how overly is this poem — the sentiments a...Oh-h-h, how overly is this poem — the sentiments and emotions aroused and the response you received.Joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155775053108104385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-52793992740410818652018-07-24T20:21:42.796-02:302018-07-24T20:21:42.796-02:30Ah, thanks Kim, she is skimpy but charming.

We pondered how long it took to grow and how quickly it can be gone. We're now planning the new trees we'll plant in an area with more space to expand. I often feel like a crabapple; I know we'll be planting a few of those for their blooms and bird food value, along with a maple or two and a serviceberry which also will be enjoyed by our bird friends.
