I wonder how long this tree has stood here. Was it here before or after the road. Whatever happens, I so hope the tree outlives the road.
What’s the point of the road anyway, it’s been closed for 6 weeks. The road apparently really needed water pipes dug into it……. I bet this tree is much less demanding….
Somethings last forever. Somethings are not meant too last as long. Somethings don’t last as long as they should. If your lucky the really important things last for the right length of time.
But just like this tree, we just never know……

No, we never know. I lost my husband two years ago today. Weren’t we supposed to last forever, or was thirty-five years the right amount of time? Granted, it’s more than many got, so are we the exception or the norm?
Sucks either way.

I hope you gave that tree a hug! Or at least a pat. Trees are so wonderful!
I think the time is always just the right amount. Maybe not what we’d prefer, but right. Some lessons, some losses are very hard.
We only realize how those hard ones were necessary when we get further down the road.
Another stunning photo!😍

I thought you’d like this post 🎄 🌲 as I know how you love trees equally. Trees that stand straight, lean, young and old, pretty or pointy.

The children used to call this one the “Crocodile Tree”.

As a child myself, this was called the “Boat Tree” because it was like a Spanish galleon due to being split into two and growing from there.
