Old trees…

As a person interested in environmental issues, I not only believe in protecting our planet and Gaia’s flora and fauna, but I also believe in the great circle of life. We all know it’s like losing a family member when we have to put down a beloved pet. I’m feeling the same way about our cherry trees. They have stood like sentinels on our front lawn for many years, long before we came on the scene. They’re old and diseased now, so we’re faced with “putting them down.”

They’re tough old codgers...
