A Study in Trees
“The best time to plant a tree was always 20 years ago. The second best time is always today.”

Before I continue on and on and on with my photos of New York, I have to tell you about my “To Do” list. Exciting, right? Spring certainly does create lengthy “To Do” lists, especially if you are expanding your gardens and have a lot of house and yard maintenance to do. I wanted to…
It started out looking like a very depressing Labor Day weekend, without much to do to distract me from my divorce funk. But then, in steps Super Cousin A! Who, being the lovely person that she is, invited me out to the family cabin on Sunday. A and her husband and their now adult children…
I watched Java walk past me for the tenth time as I listened to the rhythmic sound of paw, toenail drag; paw, toenail drag. Then silence. Java stands, nose to the wall, staring. I wait for her to whisper “open sesame” and for the wall to comply and let her through. But soon the paw,…
How exciting! I saw the sun today! I am so happy!!! The day started out at 27 degrees and it was dark when I cleaned stalls and fed the horses. Java checked out the fresh mud. The sun was peeking out as I hung out the laundry. I tried to capture the steam coming off…
The girls are a playful as always. Really, no blood was shed. It kind of looks like Latte ran up and smooched Java on the lips and ran away. Blech! Poor Java! The following photos are actually from last July. Notice how much greener it was. Java has a nice wrestling move going. Sometimes there…
Can you say OUCH!? After the doctor got done cranking on my arm in every direction feasible this morning and some that weren’t feasible, my shoulder is feeling so much worse than it was. Whine, whine, whine… It’s a rotator cuff issue. Now I have to make an appointment for physical therapy. If that doesn’t…

Holy cow! I wish trees grew that fast at out altitude.
Lori – That’s 7 years of tree growth. I haven’t really written anything lately. I’ve had too many other things come up lately. I’m going to my cousin’s for Thanksgiving.
GP – I envy those trees with strong roots.
Roxanne – I didn’t know altitude would make a difference with tree growth. I think our trees breathe in all those manure fumes and feed off them.
It’s probably more the lack of moisture and harsh winds that stunt their growth. But, things to grow very slowly here.
Those trees grew up fast! 🙂 Does it bother you that they block your view of the horses? I love the pictures from your walk, fall can be so lovely, even in it’s brownness and bleakness!
Roxanne – Well, that’s what’s kind of surprising is that it has been so dry here for the past four years I’ve been afraid the pines would die, but they must be a hardy lot.
PG – The blockage is a bit of a bummer as I can’t catch the horses and photograph them running around and mock fighting with each other.
