hooray for the Linda tree and for your stories - I too moved every few years growing up, now able to brag that I went to High School in Honolulu cuz of my Dad's work...I surfed with the Beach Boys music in the car radio - top speed on Oahu in mid 60's was 45 mph...I followed in my Dad's planting one tree in every yard where we lived, and my beloved hubby Jim & I have done the same - Omaha, Panama (planted an avocado tree there !) Kentucky and 3 here in St. Louis Missouri - we're still the "new kids" in this new stage of life in Senior Apartments where I have a small garden plot and feed birds,and way too much birdseed is eaten by the deer - we have a meadow and creek in our back "yard" that we share off our balcony with @ 50 other balconies - great for morning coffee and a green fix at woodlands tree tops...what will our precious Earth look like for our great granddaughter born a few weeks ago? oh my...we care for what we love!
"We care for what we love"--how very TRUE. Our farm mates and dear friends are moving to Panama. Perhaps they will encounter your Avocado tree! I love hearing about all the places you have graced with your tree-planting. Love to you and Jim.
Thanks, life is changing with Jim's alz diagnosis, I am enjoying this week of freedom in Seattle with my bro only sib, after much time and energy to arrange Care partners being with Jim....

Beautiful. With your Linda Tree and all of the blood sweat and tears you have put into the land, you are part of it forever, no matter where you roam.
Thank you, Darcy! So true--the land holds the legacy of all who live (and lived) in that place. The land holds the story.
I believe that too.
