I've stopped PT but I suppose I need to go back. I am thinking of that tree. You gave it such as a visual give me a smile. Yes a tree. Thank you. I hope you get to walk to that tree again. If not there are always alternative ways of travel.
Thank you for that.

I miss going into the woods watching wildlife and such things people take for granted. I watch TV seeing people do things I know I will never do but as my surgeon told me when I was 16 years old , your never going to be a ballerina ! I feel grateful for the days I've had and want to say thank you for sharing this. Good luck to you. I'm on my own journey of acceptance and not giving up but I'm going to fight as long as I can. As some days are harder than others. I also grew up on a farm . Not that big but good memories.

Hi-
Imagine that oak tree in your mind‘s eye…it was alive 100 years before the Declaration of Independence was ratified. You measure trees for age at 8 feet high above ground level. At 8 feet, the oak is 32 feet around! It is the center of my life— it literally centers me to my life as a young boy in NE Ohio.
We used to find frog eggs in the pond beside it, and deer were a common sight. When I was a kid, the fields were plowed for planting in late April/early May. Before they were disced, we.made Dad wait for a good rain— then we would search the fresh field for Indian Arrowheads! We found many, and learned that the Pontiac, Delaware, and Maumee Tribes all had settlements there at one time. Enough good memories!!
