Season Tips: Spring, 2007
The seasonal tips for spring are merely suggestions, mostly philosophical and of my opinion. After all, Spring is a time of rejuvenation. It’s a season where we can take our thoughts and feelings that have gathered over a long winter and create motion from them.
Well, I think to say it’s safe to say that Northwestern Oregon had a little bit of everything this winter. Manzanita received nearly a foot of snow and the wind moved through Portland without much discrimination pushing over trees and power lines.
I have to say it’s good to be coming out the other side. It is enlightening to see calm yellow Daffodils residing under flowering Plum trees as if they were reading a book, or the pink explosions of a Cherry blooming in a silent celebration of color.
Have you noticed the pale bract and flower of the Pacific Dogwood tucked within the Douglas Firs like a lantern calling you home?
Perhaps not, most of us don’t. We barrel down the freeway in pursuit of Time or that Something that continually eludes us.
Now is a fine time to consider what makes us drive down the freeway- are we following a trend or chasing a dream and purpose?
It is my suggestion this new season that we all take time out of our quickened lives to touch the life of someone or something else: your neighbor, a tree or blossom, the sand and the sea, a child or loved one, you decide.
As far as tree care is concerned, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions feel free to drop me a line.
Have a good one.
