Meet Fred, one of the little sapling trees that I planted in the burn area on Saturday. Fred was named in honor of my neighbor Fred Rogers. Next year I can't wait to see how he's grown, even though I like him just the way he is.

C'est moi
I was raised Mormon, but now I'm a hippie Quaker living in the OC with my two teenage kids: CatGirl & GameBoy.
Twenty-six years ago I lost my right leg to bone cancer. Awhile ago I had an antibiotic-resistant infection in my lower left leg, and now I'm healing from surgery and feeling better every day.
I like gardening, making history, outrigger canoeing, trying new things, and my afternoon cup of tea.

Growing up I had a Mr. Rogers record of him singing songs, I thought this one was hilarious:
Tree, tree, tree
Tree, tree, tree
Tree, tree, tree
Tree, tree, tree
We love you,
Yes we do,
Tree, tree, tree,
Tree, tree, tree
Man, that looks so weird written out. It was pretty funny sung, too.
Hi, Fred! Gosh you're pretty!
Alison, the Mr. Rogers song sounds exactly like something I would hum to myself -- well, no, to the tree -- while planting one. hee hee Kind of Winnie-the-Poo-ish.
We had the Mr. Roger's songbook at our house, not the record album. I wish I knew that song, though. I would undoubtedly be singing it when I garden!
I do love trees, though my favs tend towards deciduous rather than evergreen.
