Will go see the film again, - it is a piece of art in itself :-) Thanks for the link, Amy, – I had not read that far back in your blog yet.

It IS too bad. Here in Nova Scotia we'd say 'what a sin' which seems, unfortunately, all the more fitting. Eldrid, I added links to 4 videos on Youtube of The Man who Planted Trees animated short back in January in a post about planting trees ~ http://flandrumhill.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/plant-a-tree/ It's a beautiful story :) Forestrat, thanks for the heads up of things probably on the horizon here.

Now not so much. I've had people tell me that they won't have trees in their yard because they might fall over, they drop leaves that need raking, they attract birds that might mess up the car, or they are hard to mow around with the rider. It's too bad. MDW It used to be that real estate agents would tell you that every tree you plant increases the value of your home. Now not so much.

They seem like such simple things, but they are the building blocks for acquiring a passion for the natural world. Linda, what a lucky kid he is to have an artist for a grandmother ;) That’s how the love of nature begins… discovering leaves, pinecones, ants, blades of grass… perhaps getting a quick glimpse of a bird or squirrel.

Our 15 month grandson has taken exquisite pleasure in delicately fondling the leaves and twigs on what are really large shrubs in our small garden. He has been doing this since the first time he went out there as a new baby. That’s a terrific idea for everyone to plant a tree in their yard.

But it's still land full of trees, and I wouldn't want it any other way. :) Our yards are full of “ah”s, though we lost our prized pine in a January ice storm.
