Nature
The beautiful world with my love
It's a beautiful world! We all get to experience lovely nature and each type of temperature. Birds fly by my feeders and squirrels come take a taste of peanuts. My plants and long rapunzel hair like vines cascade down as I swing in the balcony and take in the day. Making a simple outing in town feel like a vacation and feeling the joy of it takes me to an ecstatic place. I have learned to apprentice the small things and love what others do. Not judging or ranting about their behaviors that have nothing to do with me never brought me joy, only insecurity reflecting out. I have looked into those murky waters and did much to clean the junk out.

Structural Roots and Suburban Realities: A Guide to Bay Area Trees
A homeowner recently called an arborist to inspect a concrete driveway that had lifted nearly three inches off its base. The cause was standing right next to the garage: a fifteen-year-old Coast Redwood planted four feet from the foundation.
