This is good. I need to read this closely......but I want to share this.....based on the beginning of the article:

For myself, a fine way to learn and differentiate when there is the "luxury" of time, is to go back to see what was expressed by others and myself. For others, it helps assess whether they merit further consideration, and for myself it helps me sharpen my focus, remember what I was thinking, realize where I might have been off-base, and remain consistent to my own self. At some point it seems more folks will do this and hopefully realize those who they can trust versus those who have consistently told lies.

~ trees ~

At the home we have had since 1994, its not on a large lot, but it is in a forested city, sometimes it gives me joy to see all the trees growing particularly the ones I either planted direct or transplanted or nurtured in place - we have some big trees in our yard, but room for more. I'm fond of cedars and they are all over our yard and some of them I planted are now more than 20 feet tall and healthy. There is one cedar that truly must have been over 5 years old, but it was growing on a walking path closes to a stepping-stone and it was barely getting by and was only 8 inches tall or so and very scraggly. About 3 years ago I decided I'm gonna try to transplant this survivor scraggly little tree even though I sort of knew the chances were not great. Well, that cedar is still alive, it probably has only grown about 4 inches and just recently is starting to finally hold itself straight. I suspect in about 15 years it will be a fine and dignified tree with plenty of space to grow. I hope so.

Thanks for your post,

BK
