Tree Talk

“I gotta confess something, Phil; I’ve never liked trees all that much. Yeah, I know, we’re supposed to chew ’em and all, but something’s always been a little off for me. Too bland, too many splinters, I dunno. But that cedar we had the other day — now that was a tree. Moist, great aroma, full-bodied with a clean finish… Hadda stop myself from eating the whole thing, yanno?”

two baby beavers on a pile of sticks. One beaver is chewing a stick while the other appears to be speaking to his friend.
I’m tellin’ ya, Phil, it’s like the Holy Grail of trees.

    Seriously though, we really do need a universal translator.

        Thank you all for your thoughts and comfort.

        Moving forward and trying to remember/recall/treasure the good. Had a communal Joy writing session last night which was very timely.

        Realized that I really am the (voluntary) omega in my house pack. Another way of saying that I’m staff for my pets I guess.

        I even slept in an awkward position so that she could sleep the way/place she wanted.

          I read the sad news too late. I’m also sending hugs, Kar.

    Personally, Iā€™d think cedar tastes better just cos it smells so good!
    This photographer has a LOT of very majestic bird photos on her site.
