Winter Tree in Florida

A Winter Tree in Florida on the Golf Course.

Ardent blog follower and witty commenter dc, captured this winter tree in Florida. It was in response to my silent Sunday post of the winter Tree in Pittsburgh.

dc suggested that I photograph my tree in the summer which I thought was a good idea. Thank you

Birds in the Tree and a Barrel

One of these birds is not like the others…

Birds roosting and squawking always reminds me of the 1963 Hitchcock movie The Birds
It looked real at first

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
Not only green in summer’s heat,
But also winter’s snow and sleet.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.
Each year you bring to us delight
With brightly shining Christmas light!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.
Your bright green leaves with festive cheer,
Give hope and strength throughout the year.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
We learn from all your beauty.

A Grump Tree?

My DIL received this at a holiday party gift exchange. A Grump Tree is a Lemon Cypress tree.

Instagram account @TraderJoesList announced the highly-anticipated arrival of the Trader Joe’s Grump Trees on Nov. 11, noting that each tree, wrapped in a red burlap sack (à la the Santa Claus toy sack the Grinch hauls with him around Whoville), topped with a sparkly Christmas ornament, and adorned in red ribbon, is selling for $8.99.”

Grump tree says it will grow fifteen to thirty feet tall and twenty feet wide
if planted in the right location (California?)

How do you notice the passage of time?

Granddaughter Anna Tree Update

Anna was guest blogger on Oct 18th-you can see her gorgeous fall tree from that post on her campus in the third photo.

She texted me tree photos on Monday and today. She’s guest blogger today with a tree update.

A tree study. Why is this season called FALL?
