What a horrible experie...I'm so sorry Michele. What a horrible experience. I used to walk several miles just about every day, along the Black River, which I loved to do. I had stopped completely by last year, it is too awful to see what is happening.<br /><br />I am hopeful (?) I can get this article done and maybe people will start to see that we must stop this mad rush to burn everything in sight. So much of it is unnecessary and there is a possibility that if we did stop, the ecosystem could recover.<br /><br />Trees are fighters. I had this thought the other day that of course they must be, because they can't up and move when faced with adversity. So they store massive amounts of energy for times of drought, otherwise they couldn't survive for the hundreds, sometimes thousands of years they do.<br /><br />okay I'll get back to work now. Thanks as always for stopping by and sharing your thoughts even if they are bad. There is a little life, it isn't completely extinguished yet.<br /><br />It's just GOING to be, aauuugghhhh.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-66944882588686282802012-04-09T12:45:42.845-04:002012-04-09T12:45:42.845-04:00oh Gail!

BIG trees, by the dozen, along the river: all like the worst pictures that you post... STANDING DEAD. a lot of them fallen in the river. no life, no life, no life. oh gail...michele/montrealnoreply@blogger.com
