Thanks...it honestly...didn't hit so hard. We lost more people to covid...that a tree didn't seem like a hard loss at all. Ya'know...perspective.
Though...I felt, one would come in to replace it's spot on the bench. This did happen. The gnarly ficus once of Jerry Meislik's. Cool trunk neagari. Came about full circle...I seen it as.
Awww thanks, as well for sharing it inspired you ...
That was a horrible time. 4 months totally bedridden. Then months after still recovering. But 6 months unable to tend my trees. But...I'm here among the daisies and not pushing them up. So...can't complain. Many weren't that fortunate. I actually had...survivors guilt. Believe it or not. Crazy...how we process things.
