Postcard for a pine tree

[asakiyume]

Today I went out to mail a letter, walking through the woods, like I did the day I dropped a card by a pine tree. It was much warmer today, but the path through the woods was still covered with ice. If I had been wearing ice skates, I could have sped along it, my own tiny Rideau Canal.



On the way back from the post office, the clouds were thickening and the wind picked up, and I worried about trees falling on me. I never used to worry about this in the woods, but winds that bring down trees are much more common now. At home, I picked up mail from our postbox... and there was this postcard:



It's from minoanmiss --she sent it for me to share with the pine tree.

Isn't that great?

Next time I walk that route, I promise I will! Thank you, MM!

Nifty postcard! And the photo was a startling reminder that whoop, summer isn't here and hard for everyone. Just us.

That path through the woods is so beautiful! Although hard walking if you are NOT wearing ice skates, perhaps.

My goodness. How would you walk on that path? Do you need special spiked boots or something? Or would people just walk on the leaves?

Nice walk.

I've feeling you'd like it around here!

No Big Thaw where you are? 😀

Paths and sidewalks around here looked like yr photo for about 5 days, but then everything melted.

That is an awesome initiative, MM. :)
