· They are cutting down trees here. Once the primary treeS filling in the landscape
around our condos were Alders. They have
a limited life span, and ours Alders have outlived theirs. Now the dead Alders are coming down and
Unfortunately Sweet Gum Trees are being planted. They too are dying, and perhaps they aren’t
the best choice for a replacement tree…not with those spikey seed pods.
· We visited Poolie yesterday before lunch and the
museum. Her doctor says that the tumors
are shrinking dramatically. Taking
potassium laden sports drinks, we discovered her consumption hasn’t equaled our
presentations. What does she want? Plain pretzels. We had to ask…does this mean salted? Yes it did.
· Dianne Schmidley’s daughter posted this yesterday on Facebook: “I just accessed Mom's Facebook yesterday.
Some of you don't know that Mom died on March 24 from complications of a
stroke. I am posting the link to her obituary here, and I am sorry to have to
tell you all of this news. May she rest in peace. Her mass today at the abbey
was exquisite. I felt as if I was getting a glimpse of heaven above. I am her
daughter, Constance Rose.

Sorry your tree replacements aren't going well.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that Dianne is gone. I miss her blog posts and her comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI so agree. She was so brilliant, and I miss her dearly.
DeleteI, too, miss Dianne. She was an intellect with a sharp wit. She was writing her blog and reading her books like the rest of us and suddenly she's gone!
ReplyDeleteNice to be so loved!! Our trees are all climax and we just let them fall in the woods and then be thankful for winter firewood. Hubby is always trying to plant new trees everywhere We now have two buckeye seedlings and wondering where we can plant them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mage. That is such a cute picture of her.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe Dianne is gone. I still can't get myself to remove her from my sidebar. Sigh...
