Vagabonde's blog is one of my favorites

I follow some favorite bloggers and today I want to send you to this blog post Recollections of a  Vagabonde, a post so sweet and touching it brought me to tears. She is a wonderful photographer and an excellent writer. I relate to her blog and so do many others my age.

In one of the pictures on this post, she shows the round off a tree that she saved. That was what I had wanted from the 300-year-old oak tree beside the house where I grew up. But I was not there and the folks taking down the tree did not understand what or why I wanted that round so the tree was burned and I did not get a piece of the beloved old friend.

I wrote a poem about that tree and I'll share it on my next post.
