Perspectives can be so different. I eagerly await the spring fall of oak leaves. Chopped or whole they are bagged for fresh mulch in the garden beds as soon as the camellias have finished blooming and all blossoms are disposed of to help lessen the dreaded petal blight. I never seem to have enough and so must scout around the neighborhood for bags on the street before trash day. I try to make certain they come from chemical free yards and are not comtaminated with someone else’s camellia blooms. Jerry Weise

Trish;
If the Live Oak did not push off the old leaves with the new buds then thaat would mean that the tree was sick or dead. They are one of the most magnificat trees we have in the lowcountry. However they are not the best street tree for downtown Charleston, not enough room!God is so good.

Trish!! This is so reminiscent of my favorite “Conversation With God” (Neale Donald Walsch). I’ve read all~I, II, and III, and loved them. Your chat with the Mother is perfecto! My industrial vac is poised for the live oak spring deluge… will think o’ you as I suck up the offenders.

Like we always say here in the lowcountry, If you don’t like the
weather, wait a minute.
And if you wait on some of the leaves to change, it’s like watching paint dry.
Yes, as we get older it gets harder and harder to accept change,
regardless of how we get it or how it comes about.
Old Age is not for sissies!
On we go…..
