She grew with the tree and climb it with her friends. We had a storm named Gloria in Long Island in 1986. This tree stood the storm fury for quite some time but in the end it lost the battle. I knew the tree was getting weak from watching it battle the winds from a window. At some point the tree actually screamed.

I think of many of the scrubby shapes in our Australian bush, and I find many of these among my favourites. <BR/>You've helped me remember something - a huge tree in my kindergarten playground. It had big orange flowers, and meandering roots on which we used to sit and eat our sandwiches.June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489210412257406098.post-23587720677804340272009-01-15T06:58:00.000+10:002009-01-15T06:58:00.000+10:00MIXEDBREWI have visited your blog and I have found...MIXEDBREW<BR/>I have visited your blog and I have found a very honest caring person haven't I?<BR/>I'm pleased if my site has helped in some way.
