Love them. I'm actually quite teary-eyed right now. It is quite sad to see a tree go. Yes...I agree...I try to find beauty wherever I can. With our drought and dead brush and trees wherever I go, I try to find some kind of beauty. I'm not quite as optimistic as you, but I try. ;) Much love dearie! xoxoxo JenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420524123565812135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-30623737176200520772015-06-23T12:05:17.518-07:002015-06-23T12:05:17.518-07:00sorry to hear about that tree :( we have been pick...sorry to hear about that tree :( we have been picking vegetables from our garden and it's been wonderful. we are exploding with perilla leaves and lettuce and i see that our beets are growing. i can't wait for the tomatoes and our fava beans. i saw a small formation today and it got me excited :) Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073489020505303471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-84193641821432124202015-06-21T12:14:31.900-07:002015-06-21T12:14:31.900-07:00What a shame about your poor tree, they become old...What a shame about your poor tree, they become old friends don't they?

But as you said, a garden is always changing and we must go with the change, because there is nothing to win, when we go against it. <br />On the photos that you have posted here your garden looks very lovely and I am sure you will make the front yard pretty, even after the maple tree is not there anymore. <br />Warm regards, <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-76083217282583970632015-06-20T15:58:33.893-07:002015-06-20T15:58:33.893-07:00It's always sad to lose a tree.It's always sad to lose a tree.Midnight Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421913320445099664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-54477513938931047562015-06-20T12:15:34.602-07:002015-06-20T12:15:34.602-07:00Everything looks beautiful in your photos and your...Everything looks beautiful in your photos and your philosophy is sound. You are right that gardening teaches us so much about life. The tree will leave a space and that space will create an opportunity for you and the beans to plant (properly!) a new tree and create memories to share.

I was "fasting' the internet for a week. I needed it but missed my blogs! I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Maple....I live in the house I grew up in and my dad always talked about remembering the big oak we had out back when it was a sapling. It was too close to the house and had to go....I actually left the house the day it was cut down....too painful.<br />Anyway, I love, love your yard! You've really created an oasis and must be basking in the joy of all that beauty. I'm in total agreement with about organic.....we are organisms.....we need real food. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

I was told in my situation that the two years of drought were hard on it and when we had a hard freeze there wasn't enough moisture to bring it through the next year. Your gardens are so well tended and your flowers look so good. Mildred sent me over and a friend of Mildred's must be a pretty great person. L.
