Born in California
Did the school thing studying electronics, computers, release engineering and literary criticism.
I worked in the high tech world doing software release engineering and am now retired.
Then I got prostate cancer.
Now I am a blogger and work in my wood shop doing scroll saw work and marquetry.
Those sequoias give the rest of the tree world a bad name. Weeping Willows are crying because they’re just so darn tired and want to rest. They are the moms of the arboreal world. Probably why they’re also my favorite.

I don’t mind if they rest, as long as they don’t decide to lie down unexpectedly while I’m close to them. 😉

exactly! If they got to lie down or at least sit once in awhile they would be around so much longer …

They do so much, you’d think people would be nicer to them.

I think that’s why they prefer the company of other trees. When we’re not looking, they lean on each other.

I’ve always wondered what they did when we weren’t looking.

They do so much already. Trees deserve a little sit down now and again.

Right! They deserve a nice break now and then. Maybe with a nice coffee and a bit of chocolate.
