Thanks to: http://jewniquelymyself.com/2021/02/21/trimming-trees-givingthanks/ for helping me find this lovely post.
It’s that time of year, again. At the end of the driveway, the machine is parked. The man who drives it has had to move it twice. First for my daughter on her way to class, then for my husband on his way to work. Each time the bucket descends and the engine roars back to life. It’s now blocking the entrance and exit, again. Parked at the end of the driveway it has better access to the maple whose branches are threading the electric wires.
Who was there first? It doesn’t matter. We humans have taken over time and place to claim them both as our own. I have been reading a lot of nonfiction these days.

No problem.
I know all about trees and their upset when being trimmed. I once had to have a tree doctored. The property owners where I lived at the time wanted to simply cut it down but the man who had come to give the estimate had told me that wasn’t necessary, he suggested rather than cutting the tree down we should only remove the sick portions. I had to beg plead and practically get in the way of the job on the day they were sent back to cut it down. The tree had told me her name. her name was Grandmother Tree and she and I had lovely visits. Finally, I won out, and even though I’ve moved, that tree stands yet today.
The horror of that day was hearing her screaming in pain. They did the cutting while she was fully awake and it was horrible. I stood on my porch and thought loving thoughts to her but still she screamed. But when it was all over, after only a few weeks, new growth began and it was wonderful.

Trees are wonderful and I’ve often wondered what on earth I was thinking renting a house which had no tree in its yard.
