Hey my friend. A real bummer : just get home from the hospital and 10 hours later an honest-to-God HURRICANE RIPS half of my big trees out by the roots. These are BIG suckers, 80-90 year old giants, 65 mph winds and KA-WHAM - GONE. As a working fool, normally I’d be out there w/my chain saw, but now w/a weak heart = uhuh. My guardian angel crew has had a busy month already, this requires a full timber crew with CRANE, probably they should subcontract this job out...
Oh well, it reminds one that great oaks fall and acorns grow. What we think of as permanent, even our very lives, are but a part of a much larger picture. The tree may be gone but the fruit lives on.
The refining fires can sure burn hot at times.
Glad you’ve pulled through. Nice to have you still around.
Wow, those winds must have been something.
Please take it . . . in healthy ways . . . for a good long while!
LUB,
