Today I arrived home and there were some workmen for a tree-service there, the kind that prunes the trees for you or (gasp) removes them. There was an odd breeze stirring and shaking up the branches of the trees as I got out of the car, and I got the distinct feeling that they were very displeased...

Poor trees! They must have thought they were going to get chopped down.

Did you hear anything along the lines of "Down with the tree killer!"?

I will confess that when I have to prune branches on our two trees, I try to reassure them that they will feel much better without a lot of smaller branches to get broken in storms.

Btw, I enjoyed the first line of your last post, Encaitare! It gave me a mental picture of jean-clad workmen trying to explain to Undomiel & Elessar that they have a work order to trim up the White Tree.

Once I have been in a camping trip in the mountains and there was one night when the sky was literally covered with stars and there was more silver up there than blue. I had a strange feeling then, as if I had become aware of something being there with us, someting ancient and wise. The feeling lasted only a few seconds and I have totally forgotten about it, until today, when I started reading this thread. Now that may have been only my imaginaton-it runs a little wild, sometimes -but-who knows?- I might have felt the last of the Firstborn near me.
