Thanks for your warm words for my tree - she's basking in them today and there's a glimmer of a smile on her face. <BR/><BR/>It's fun knowing several of you have "trees of the heart" as well. <BR/><BR/>Nancy - your dead tree is such a treasure, and I'm thrilled that it has been able to remain as is as it must not be a danger where it stands. Woodpeckers and other birds love dead trees for nesting sites, and they're a smorgasboard of tasty delights for our feathered friends! Kinda like the salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays...<BR/><BR/>Frances - "Ferngully" is a lucky tree, part of her having been left for the creatures! I love the name, too!<BR/><BR/>Mr. Mac's Daughter - you have reminded me of something I read recently about "talking trees," but that's not the right phrase. Now I'll be searching all day long for it in my head! THEN another post once I find it!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you all for your nice comments.

We have a tree that died and had to be cut down, a large old maple, and left a large, ten foot tall stump with arms sticking out and a flat place that looks like a face. We called it ferngully before it died, and still do. It is rotting away quickly, helped along by woodpeckers and insects, but we still love it.Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618636316183469027.post-55827063193789587862008-03-28T13:57:00.000-05:002008-03-28T13:57:00.000-05:00Very nice and encouraging post.
