Good morning Allan I think trees are very special indeed. Thank you so much for reading and your kind comment Allan. It makes me so sad to see them chopping hundreds of old trees down all around where we live. Our little over an acre is covered in trees. The animals are running out of places to go. We are having a good year so far I hope your family is as well. Big hugs π€ Joni

Thank you Tim. I do love the trees. They were my hiding place, friends and refuge when I was little and scared. They were not many trees that I couldnβt scale quickly. Grateful for your kind comment my friend. You have an amazing and blessed day. Hugs to you and your family Tim. β€οΈ

Thank you for your kind comment, it ended up in pending comments so it got missed. I will figure out how this happens one day. I think you can only have so many comments per day and the rest get thrown in this ominous folder. Still made me smile to get it, hope you are having a blessed Sabbath too, love you xoxoxoxo

I’ve often wondered if the trees get cold, I do think they prefer the Summertime! πππ²

I love the way you think Tiffany. Isaiah 55:12 “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” I just love this reference in the bible and I believe we will be able to talk to our animals too. I think they like all the activity of summer. Sending you baskets of love and free paints and extra sketch pads because you are doing so much work on them. What a great idea to start carrying that pad around with you and creating whenever you get that creative piece beginning to flow through you. Love you Tiffany, please stay safe and blessings to you and your honeybun.
