I remember the 70's when all the elms big elms left including the one near the front door of our old place in NE Mpls. Whole cities went from leafy to sunny in just a few short years. The elms with their upstretched branches use to remind me of cathedrals as they lined the avenues.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445927851498985260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408245825207444411.post-17777243727773332082008-08-03T18:32:00.000-05:002008-08-03T18:32:00.000-05:00what a completely accurate and observant descripti...what a completely accurate and observant description of what happens when a tree goes down. it's a horrible experience, but most of us can't even say why, other than "i miss that old elm next door."<BR/><BR/>when my friend sarah died, i decided i was never, ever going to let myself smile again. i don't know how long that lasted, but several months, i think. then the smiles just started sneaking back in when i wasn't on guard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
