Welcome

A blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things. You think you are going down one road when all of a sudden you come across a curve and find yourself going off in a totally different direction. My blog covers my interests in gardening and crafting, with some reading and photography added in along the way. Depending on the season or my mood the posts will reflect more of one side of me than the other.

Beautiful post... wonderful photos. Taking shade from the warm summer's sun under these leaves is quite refreshing indeed!

Beautiful. My neighbors are still planting trees. He is 87, she is 77. They know they are not likely going to live to sit in their shade, yet they keep planting--for future generations.

Lovely sentiment I was there with you.

Hi - I'm visiting via Rosemary's Blogspot. Lovely thought about shade and how important it is to keep planting trees!

This is a perfect post Linda ! We have put as many trees (well .. I planned them out after the cherry tree fiasco ? LOL ) as we can squeeze in the garden .. they are a must for us : )
And ... this quote is the most perfect statement about trees and how we NEED them !

Hi Linda, I love this Blog. You are very creative! I'll be exploring a little more soon. Did you discontinue The Cooking Cabal? Have a great weekend!

PS, I didn't even comment on your theme in this post. Trees (as well as many other things) are so taken for granted, aren't they? I'm forever grateful for the ones we have. :-)

Hi Shady Gardener, you have me mixed up with another blogger as I don't run Cooking Cabal.

Thanks to everyone for visiting. Yes, trees are so important to our world. Let's all try to plant for the future.
