{{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.

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.

Book~ma to you, Hec.
And thank you for the image of an Ent picking up a Duke Power truck and tossing it in the Eno River.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ooh! Well-wishing amongst the royals! Well, at least in miniature. Now I want pictures of wand-waving, be-tiaraed Buffista princesses!
Thanks for the fit, Aimee. Trudes, I'll put my anger where it might do some good--towards preserving national forests or into city-arborism. My neighborhood is transitional, and the folks who are moving in aren't really comfortable with big old trees. The whole neighborhood will be denuded in a decade or so. But things do change, and other people have as much right to be comfortable in their homes as I do. It will be time for me to move on and find other trees to treasure. I tell myself, anyway.
Honestly, I haven't had the courage to go outside. I'm going to be not looking up for a while. And I don't even want to think about my second floor deck next spring. It'll be like being onstage, instead of being in a treehouse.
