You are right, Debra, practice makes perfect as they say…

New one to me as they aren’t in Ohio … but I see that the flowers and fruit contain a toxin. Oh well … still attractive tree!

That’s so funny about Lucy, John! I know the egg laying cycle, at least as related to cockatiels. Our cockatiel passed away in February, after a nice, long life. You really do get accustomed to the habits and sounds during the egg laying time. I presume a parrot’s eggs are somewhat larger than cockatiel, too. We could count on three eggs in about three days, and it was always a relief to all of us when that little episode was over! So we hope Lucy had a very good weekend–much more comfortable. And Darwin seemed to enjoy his weekend, too.

I was looking at the sycamore bark today, Penny. It is looking healthy and seems to have only a light peeling going on. Would that even be how you describe it? The color is a light gray and white. Does that answer your question? I don’t know that much about the trees, except they are very full right now and shade the neighbor’s yard…and then in the fall, all those leaves will be in our yard. LOL!

Hope you had a very nice weekend, Meg. Mine was very nice, but they sure do pass quickly, don’t they? Whew!

Tree maintenance and upkeep ca be a bit of a burden, I agree, Terri. We have our own to maintain, and as it turns out, we are the only ones to maintain the neighbor’s trees, also. It annoys me greatly–but I’m annoyed with the neighbors, not the trees. We have an ordinance that doesn’t even allow us to take out a tree without some level of “special dispensation.” Sounds to me like you have some lovely trees. I can relate to getting weary that their “timetables” don’t cooperate.

It’s not hard to understand how someone may not appreciate a tree, but the poor man or woman who wrote into Dave’s Garden to give a review didn’t find anything redeeming about this beautiful tree. I found the attitude really funny. We have trees that give us a few extra responsibilities, too. Our oak costs us a small fortune every year in pruning, but I can’t imagine what we’d feel if we lost it. Homes and gardens–a lot of work and responsibility, I’m sure you agree. We had a lovely weekend, and I can’t believe it’s time to get back to work already. LOL! Hope you had a lovely weekend, too, Smidge.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. maybe if he’d kept that tree maintained it wouldn’t have looked so ratty:D I thought it was pretty.. but do get annoyed at dripping trees on my car, lol. Give Darwin a hug for me.. he’ll love exhaling with you this weekend! xx

Your perspective on trees can certainly change when they are in your yard (or your neighbor’s) and you have to deal with all the shedding. I love trees, but I wish my weeping birch would learn to hang on to her branches, and I wish my mountain ash would drop all her berries once they were too dried out for the birds. Am I asking too much?

Maybe the angry girlfriend of some rich guy threw his gold and diamonds family watch in there.
