Joe’s stories – old new and mostly true

Another Tree Story

Joe's Tree 4CHi Folks! My scribe tells me some of you have asked about me. It is comforting to know that your interest and concern about me continues.

I’m not sure just what occurred this spring and summer to allow me to “leaf out” the way I did. Those of you who pass by regularly must have noticed that my figure is fuller than I can ever recall. Healthy leaves just sprouted out from every little branch, as evidenced by the picture included herewith.

I’m also very happy to once again be surrounded by a farmer’s crop in the entire field. Can’t really tell what it is but it is low growing and totally covers the acres I have a view of. That means there will probably be farm help, actual humans in the field for harvesting. You know I don’t care what color they are, where they came from or whether they are legal or illegal. They will be welcome to rest in my shade as needed, like so many have done over the many years of my existence. As limited as it was, I really miss that contact.

It is my hope that you all enjoy a safe and happy summer. Since I don’t travel there is no concern about injury from an accident and a water incident is highly unlikely. However, there is my old nemesis – a lighting strike, that I can’t get away from. Thunderstorms have been limited so far this year and I sure hope it stays that way.

Enjoy yourself and you will enjoy everything.
