I spent my 60th birthday in the California Redwoods. My husband gave me this trip as a gift. He knew that I loved trees...all trees..One of the SPOTS we found completely enchanting is the LADY BIRD JOHNSON GROVE OF TREES. It was so beautiful in there that I chose it for my final ashes to be put there.

That visit is almost 30 years ago. I will be there when I am gone..but..not really..my spirit will live on in there..among the giant trees...shrouded in the .ist coming from the Pacific Ocean..among the popping color of the Rhododendros.

Where the mosses and ferns add to the palette...I am so happy that I found that place

I love your comments and especially about trees, who have a network of roots. I think that we should all cultivate our network of roots and send healing and loving messages to one another.

I adore the eavesdropped conversation. I also think it's funny how many times they said the word "like." For the longest time, women were heavily criticized and mocked for "overusing" the word "like" as a filler word; looks like "like" is universal!

Gosh that Italian disco song was bad. And I love disco. I was in an Italian disco or two in the early 80’s and it was all US disco thankfully

I love the original tongue-in-cheek opening by Nicole Miras in her essay about Renoir, and it makes me wonder why we can't read more stories about art like this. Thanks for sharing! (subscribed)
