Well, I couldn't leave it there like that!
You walled it up didn't you?

I am sure the electrician appreciated that
Congratulations Tom!

Thank you very much!
Sounds like something that should be on a sampler. Lovely words.

Growing up in the south, where the dogwoods grow wild, that is one of the largest I've seen. Beautiful tree and story about your granddaughter
I love to see the dogwoods in bloom this time of year. That is an impressive one, Big Man. I hope it's around for another 50 or 60 years.
That's a beautiful tree. I always wanted a weeping cherry tree. Maybe that can be a project for next Spring.
Thanks. I, too, hope it's around that long. I'm doing my part to take care of it and to keep the story of the tree alive as well.
Christmas idea for Ashley?
It is from the Unitarian Hymn, A Prayer for this House. I want to woodburn the last lines for our new home, but I've always thought it was a beautiful blessing to make on a home (besides the traditional bread, wine, and salt):
May nothing evil cross this door
and may ill fortune never pry
about these walls may the roar and rain go by
By faith made strong these rafters will
withstand the battering of the storm.
Though all the world grow chill will keep us warm.
May peace walk softly through these rooms,
touching our lips with holy wine
until every casual corner blooms into a shrine
With laughter drown the raucous shout
and though the sheltering walls are thin
may they be strong to keep hate out and hold love in.
