[/whining mode] Some people just hate trees. When I was a kid my step-father cut down a beautiful weeping willow tree in our backyard. Later, after I moved out, he cut down the tree in the front yard, too. I hope you didn't learn about choosing partners from your mother. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8 Sunset Zone 5 |
