We always stop to say hello to our favorite trees. The third largest blackwalnut tree in the state is on our walk to the grocery store. We pass several willows and some cedars. We even stop and say hello to our favorite stumps.
Our family cares about trees. When the boys were just a few months old we tried to save some trees from coming down in our historic neighborhood. First by actually doing an action when we thought the cutting was illegal. Then attending the Historic Neighborhood Review Boards meeting. In the end the trees were cut down.
Here is a picture of another stump in our neighborhood. This tree came down after the new owners bought the house. I sure hope they had a good reason to cut it. It was such a marvelous tree. At least the boys try to make use of it. This truly is "The Giving Tree."
A recent community walk occurred to view trees. However our family got the date wrong so we missed it. Nevertheless we learned of a great resource about trees in Seattle. Here you can find canopy connections.
