Last winter's heavy wet snow in Door County (you remember it) did a lot of damage to the trees around our yard.  That beautiful blue spruce went down with the storm and there are a lot of branches to clean up all over this spring.  In honor of my lost tree and as a reminder to all my young nieces and nephews...

Advice From a Tree

  • Stand tall, strong and proud
  • Remember your roots because they run deep
  • You have lots of natural beauty, be happy with it
  • Go out on a limb, or in honor of all the baseball players--you can't steal second if you keep your feet on first
  • Hydrate--drink lots of water
  • Along with remembering your roots, put down roots
  • Enjoy life, enjoy the ride, enjoy the view because it only happens once
