As I watched the morning show with the reporters all decked out in green, I was reminded of my neighbor. The trees really make the neighborhood, yet she chose to cut hers down. Well, nature did help; lightning and a snow storm started the process and she finished by removing all of her trees.
My feeling is that she should plant something. Trees provide valuable shade that can reduce cooling cost in the summer and serve as a home for the birds. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. OK, another tree might not be the best option but a couple of bushes would be nice.
In honor of her, I am going to make a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation (http://www.arborday.org). Their slogan “We inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.”
And in honor of St. Patrick’s day, I'll have a cup of green tea or my favorite Green Goodness from Bolthouse Farms®J
Until we blog again,
