The Rockefeller Center's Christmas Tree for 2025 arrived today. I remember my visit to NYC with my family back in 1988, and we went to RC on our first night just to see the magnificent tree. Then I saw this pic today, and I saw things differently. 🎄

It‘s been a long week full of a lot of things, but this morning I‘m taking a little break from it all to catch up on this book with a cup of coffee before church. I continue to love the mix of history and science and art in these daily pages, and the photos and art chosen are just beautiful.

Good morning! A slightly different view from my backyard than last night, but it‘s my favorite place to be on these beautiful fall days. I spent some time making these breakfast biscuits to pull from the freezer on busy mornings, and now I‘m catching up on some A Tree a Day reading. These short anecdotes about trees from all over the world continue to be so interesting.

I‘m not sure who is doing this buddy read but tag people if you know. The Boston liberty tree was today‘s entry. I‘m just showing some pictures of the area (Liberty Tree District) today. It‘s part of the theater district. They have a monument for the tree. And some art on a building. ❤️Boston

I completely missed posting my joys on Friday because it‘s been an incredibly busy week, and all the days have kind of blurred together. This morning, though, I had the chance to enjoy some quiet time out on the front porch with the dogs, an iced coffee, and a book before church. It was lovely.

Good morning! I did a little bit of catching up last night to finish the June pages of this book. We‘re halfway through and I continue to really enjoy these stories of various trees. Today we start July with this quote which I‘ve heard variations of throughout my life. It‘s a wonderful way to consider your impact on the future.

Just devastating. 💚🌳💚

A majestic tree
once stood proudly in our 'hood.
Felled by new owners.

1) My new candles from a small Oregon business
2) A sign found on the internet that explains why
3) I was at local protest on the 5th. Was my first, won‘t be my last
4) Loving the art that is included in tagged book
5) Bibimpap! Another first at lunch with a friend. Yummy!

Thanks for the tag! @DebinHawaii

@AllDebooks Like minds. I like to think we were contemplating this at similar times this morning. 🌳💚

Wow, April already! 🌸🌞🌸

Are you still enjoying our daily arboreal treat? 🌳
Did you have a favourite passage from the March entries? I adored An Orchard in Spring by Isidore Verheyden (1897). Inosculation is quite cool, too.https://crowspath.org/love-trees/

I love a little bit of serendipity. Today‘s tree entry from the tagged book matching @TheBookHippie journal prompt “Spring Means…”

“Greeting the first delicate and resilient blossom of spring is always eagerly anticipated moment signaling longer days and the return of the light.”

Hi, tentative 👋

I'm slowly starting to feel better. February has been a tough month. All I've been doing is resting and reading. My daughter brought me snowdrops to cheer me up. A sign spring is springing. 🌞

I've got a lot of catching up to do.

From the reading for February 22 of A Tree a Day comes this fun but weird word!

epiphyte: a plant that grows upon another for support only, not as a parasite

Absolutely adoring this one! My husband's even reading it along with me! 🌳💚🌳

I have been loving reading A Tree a Day with #naturalitsy. I took my book with me on our hike today to photograph with our state tree, the Palo Verde. This is not her prettiest time of year (check back in March or April for yellow flowers) but you can still see what makes her unique, a green trunk and green branches.

Singing to trees, you say? Well, sure! Why not? @AllDebooks #naturalitsy

I‘m all caught up on my daily trees, and I read December and January from The Wild Remedy.
Hoping to finish Joan Didion in Women‘s Lives tomorrow, and get more into The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store.

Thanks for asking @rachelsbrittain !
