Old Elm tree
American Elm
once a pest…
limbs too much shade,
extinction well on its way
lives in memories
tree farm grows
crop of sad seedlings?
Not at all…
consider
chance of life or none at all.
A purpose, not waste.
Of all gifts
nature has for us
best of all
may be trees
Trees serve us well all our days
from crib to coffin.

Presumably you ‘followed’ it. 😉

yes, I did before, but I don’t get any notifications who knows why. I’ll get over there in a bit, Scott is making chili for supper (a bit late, its 4 here) and he needs a bit of supervision.

I changed its title to A State of Mind….same url address, domain, I don’t think that can be changed easily. What I did, yesterday when I was on your other site I clicked the Follow button again…sometimes those get mixed up.

try following again…can’t hurt. It works for me. I think WordPress is always working to improve…at least I don’t have to sign in again several times a day.

I like the latest theme with the three columns, but can’t figure out how to get widgets at the top. Maybe I can’t with that theme. I think its Visual.
