Your trees sound wonderful, I miss walnut trees from having them around in my much younger days at "home". Dad loved French lilacs and had one in the backyard that we kids would gather around just to smell every year.

We have chinaberry trees here...pretty blooms that smell delicious but I hate the "yard marbles" LOL!

We also have a couple of evergreens, two large pecan trees and an old Oak that is beautiful, but not as beautiful as the one Rex's (my roomie) parent's have. It is huge with at least four or 5 large limbs that sprout out from the main trunk and...well it is just indescribable lol! I can tell you though that I find myself just staring at it a lot whenever we visit there, I just can't get over how pretty it is!

In out backyard there is also an old oak stump that stands about 4 ft. high...I am itching to cut it down shorter and add a tabletop to it and throw some pavers around the base so that we can have a place to sit that is out in the open. I love the shade but the birds love the trees and I dread being bombed from above. I keep feeders out so we have a large variety of birds around here as well as squirrels who thankfully keep our yard cleared of the fallen pecans.

The tabletop and paver project is far ahead into the future though, there is so much else I want to get done first.

Hehe, horses are a good thing.
The idea you have with the tree stump is wonderful. I would never thought of something like that. That is an idea that I will keep in mind.
All of our trees are little. The Aspen Quakie trees are barely taller than me. I am 5'6" and the walnut trees are still little. I would love to have a pecan tree. But I don't want the messes, I am already dreading the walnut trees.

I will have to read some of his other books when I have time. If there was a movie based on that book. I would definitely go see it. What a movie that would make. Yes, the special effects would be rather costly.

Hi The.Relic. I don't want you to go away so I will not spray you with bug spray.

Have you ever read Stephen King's The Talisman? Another nice big book that is riveting throughout.

I don't think I have read that one yet. I have read alot of Stephen King's books but it has been so long ago. I swear having kids has made me brain dead. The more kids I have, the more my memory goes. I will have to read that book next. I just wish I had more time.

A corsage with orchids sounds beautiful. I hoped she really liked it. I know I would of. I have never tried growing orchids. Are they something that can be grown easily? Just wondering. Maybe I can try.

Wow, I loved "The Talisman". Talk about a blast from the past. That's been about 16 years since I read that one. I can remember crying like a jerk while reading it! *blushes* Oh well, if a book can move me like that, it's worthwhile.
