I love trees. I cry over them.<br />they're like people to me I suppose. I've never tried to fight that feeling. I've just always felt that way about them even as a child. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-22670732592389703622020-07-12T16:02:28.239-07:002020-07-12T16:02:28.239-07:00We had no power either and since I don't use t...We had no power either and since I don't use the woodburning stove any more, no wood and I was freezing!Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-23422995298321297572020-07-12T14:44:16.223-07:002020-07-12T14:44:16.223-07:00It survived and will continue to give you shade as...It survived and will continue to give you shade as it grows again. I enjoyed the story and you sound like me - i get out there and do a lot of the yard work. Anyway we had first off that really big storm over thanksgiving weekend 2019 - did it hit you up there. It caused the most damage ..lots of fallen trees and limbs on our property and what a mess ...a power outage for a week. then christmas came and the storm you are talking about - did a lot more of a mess up here like the thanksgiving one. We have put out at least three big roadside piles of limbs etc...for the chipper that has come by three times in the last months. I think we're done except for some minor clean up on a very slanted hill on the property. I love it here but not when the power goes out and the damage is done by storms. I don't think I've seen junipers around here. In the yard we have most incense cedar trees. sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-8581677440633941742020-07-12T09:31:17.218-07:002020-07-12T09:31:17.218-07:00Hello Inger!

I'm sure it will survive - and I guess, of course, if you'd let it be - the snow would have trimmed it for you. There's one on the Canary Islands ... that looks distinctly more woe begone, haggard and straggly ... but gainfully struggling on ... see it in Wiki ... as too the Plymouth Gin factory here in the UK - too far for me to get to at the moment!!<br /><br />Lovely story - thank you ... take care - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-44563819315492541512020-07-11T09:46:41.572-07:002020-07-11T09:46:41.572-07:00I love trees too and once cried when a tall pine t...I love trees too and once cried when a tall pine tree had to be by the corner of our lot by the road because it was a hazard due to rot. I felt such a loss as if I lost a best friend. I wondered all the history that had happened while it lived in our neighbourhood. <br /><br />It is sad that you lost so much of the beautiful shade. I hope it will fully recover. Junipers are pretty tough trees.<br /> Thanks for sharing your tree story. We all like to read about what is happening at your place.<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-9803912293095771302020-07-11T09:00:42.541-07:002020-07-11T09:00:42.541-07:00Love how you tamed it the first time.

I was going to say if you wanted to make some bathtub gin, you have the berries for it:) <br />It looks like it will make it though and again thrive.

I do hope it will make it and get bigger and grow and be healthy. I know that the wild life depends on the the food and the shade. I could feel myself sitting under those branches in the shade but then I thought about the rattlesnakes and I thought maybe not.
