Lighten Up
I spent a few minutes (well more than a few, Carol is very faithful to journal on this site) to capture the thoughts of my friend Carol. I have long been absent from this little spot. In fact I do not recognize the format so I do hope I am where I ought to be!
Yesterday a very old grew up on its own Silver Maple tree was cut down in our back yard. It was significant in height and trunk circumference but not particularly elegant in form, such the growth pattern of Silver Maples. It was ever so close to our house and the trunk was tri-furcated...is that a word? So the decision was made to slay the beast. The change would be noticeable for sure but the surprise to me was the light that has come to the space it once took for itself. I have gardens near where is stood and now they will enjoy a whole new view from the sunny sky. I am excited to watch what happens to the little green folk that live there. Instead of two or three blooms on my coneflowers I may be delighted with many more. So then thank you to the old Silver Maple and the sacrifice it gave to my garden...new life...I think I have heard about that mystery before?
