Thank you President Jefferson for building those octogonal buildings that have lasted all these centuries. The leaves were just starting to turn and we had blankets on the beds.; 10/12/25, 2:25 PM

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: I’m not in any way an eco-freak but, Gawd, I love a giant tree. Truly historical monuments.

Well, other people’s giant trees. Ones that don’t drop leaves and other seasonal discharges onto my roof and lawn. As noted in an earlier thread, all the giant trees that were on my property were felled into the ravine behind my house.; 10/12/25, 4:37 PM
Rusty said...: The maple in our front yard is dying. It had the black spot disease a couple of years ago and never recovered. It was never a specimen, but if provided much needed shade on the western facing side of the house. I'll remove it this spring.; 10/13/25, 7:25 AM
