Thanks guys. The other people in my immediate vicinity right now think I'm a freak for crying about some damned old trees.
But Em is a year old today--and there will be cake!
And there are other reasons for joy, so. Onward.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
{{{Beverly}}} My grandparents had to take down "Elmer" a few years ago. It was planted when they built the house, survived Dutch-Elm disease. It was a great tree.
I hate it when people take down trees for silly reasons. Tree was there before the power lines.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Beverly}} I feel your pain. Between the huge trees felled by the hurricanes and those taken by development we are becoming a city of bushes. It breaks my heart.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
{{beverly}} that hurts esp when with a little effort they could save them and have power lines.
happy birthday Em! no way it has been a year.
and the cookbook deadline extention has not helped me get my act together. I am trying. My poor family - both my sisters and mom are getting them But we do that to each other.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Beverly, it IS sad making.
Do you have any tree activist people in the area? I know some cities do, New York has a whole "anti-arborcide" thing. If you found them maybe they could pitch a well-informed fit on your behalf.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I could throw a very UN-formed fit on your behalf.
I'll throw it right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oaks aren't protected? Maybe that's only in my head. It's a darn shame that Beverly's are being treated badly by the power co.
I was surprised by how well the trees in Audubon Park and along St. Charles did after Katrina. Many many still standing w/o even a lot of gaps from broken branches. t /hurricanes like carrots

Goodness, has it been a year? Happy Birthday Princess Emeline!
And when the princess army gets going, perhaps they could get their clothes from here.

Where are the Ents when you really need them?
Happy birthday to big girl Emeline! I think Emmett started to grow hair finally after his first birthday.
Wish me luck, Bitches, I just sent in my book pitch. Eeep. I want this one so much. It'd be the first one I wrote entirely by myself.
