Um, yes we did use wire hangers.......

We grew up to love and respect trees.

The only reason for a tree to be hurt or damaged was when our dad needed a switch to beat our arses.;)

REFILLS AND CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

Trees must be more sparse where you are. In the woods of New England, where I grew up, there is always brush, including sprouting trees that will never grow to maturity because they are in the shade of the parent tree, so too close to others, "trash trees" growing on brook banks or roadside - finding one green twig certainly never harmed the tree or the ecosystem, trust me! If anything, we were pruning them, which every gardener knows is necessary at times!

I'll take some cake, thanks!

Hot tea near the hot fire please. Cold here!

I grew up in the Valley. We had all kinds of trees in the yard. Lemon, orange, pine, olive and mulberry trees. My G-ma had pine, plum, avocado, peach, pomegranate and fig trees in her yard.

I thiink that the West Coasters have a different view on trees because of the 'sparseness'? We don't have all the foliage that other areas in the US have, so we tend to really overreact when it comes to trees - We love trees!

Cake and a refill! Done!

QoP,

Fire and hot drinks!
Done!

We love trees, too, I promise! But sparseness only happens out here when deer overpopulate a confined area, or someone spends a lot of work to prevent more trees growing! Stop mowing a piece of property here, and in a month it will start looking like a meadow, and most of the time in a few years, the beginnings of forest!

I'm making tea right now because it's cold out. Just plain black tea for now, if anyone would like some. I am grateful for my PT Friends! :)
