Flash 55 - Trees


~ the trees below Hogwarts Castle ~

I think that for little old me
there’s nothing better than a tree:
it cools me off for free
when the temp is a hundred and three
which fills me with glee;
it can hide you when you need to pee
which none of us want to see
as I’m sure you will all agree.



I like trees. Do you like trees? Trees do wonderful things. 

They clean up the air, among other things, 
like they give us shade, 
perform the duty of a natural umbrella and 
provide monkey bars for squirrels.

According to some research, 
this blog contributes to 8 pounds of CO2 emissions per year 
but one tree can obsorb 11 pounds per year. 
Good deal. 
You can read all about it at GREEN GESTURES
If you have a blog and post about this, 
they'll plant a tree in your blog's honor. 
Shiny!

  1. I once ended up having to leave work in a hurry, as I had contracted food poisoning. As I was driving home, it was either defile the car or a tree that I saw on a dirt road on a hill. Sorry tree!

  4. I do love trees. I really want to plant more in my back forty, but I need to get some fencing up to keep the goats from eating them.

  5. I'm a tree hugger all the way, and they often hug me back in all the ways you describe. Lots of fun in 55.
