Red Bird #2: “Be thankful we’re constipated today! I wouldn’t want over her head today right now if we wasn’t!”

Okay, that extra added line by me was in poor taste. Too bad, I liked it!

I remember when I was a very young child, there were 2 trees in our front yard. I named them Grandma and Grandpa, and I would talk to them all the time. They were kind of my “Let things be” trees. We moved when I was 7, and our new home had 2 trees in the front yard…but it wasn’t the same.

They are strong but silent types.

Trees are very special beings … that even talk to you if you know how to listen. They can always be counted on … not the little ones, but the old souls.

I know of a couple of little ones, too, who have great spirit. One of them is a willow tree that got ground down to a sprig by some overzealous deer. But he’s come back now and is taller than me. We actually went through a lot together as we were both recovering. I guess you’d say he is my Let Things Be Tree.

Is that Dogwood?It has bark :)

There is also a Rock, with room for all of us to lean.

I think I did a Let It Be Tree. Luckily I do have a Rock.

Kinda like how I feel about Jesus.
