These pics have arrived from Cleveland, Ohio where an architect friend of ours sent his wife on a mission. The mission of the day was to go hug some trees. They found a sad looking tree up a slope a bit. Bruce sent his wife up the slope and took this picture. Sadly when she was reaching out for the tree to give it a big hug Bruce's camara ran out of battery.So much effort and no tree hugging picture. But there is a tree on a steep slippery slope somewhere close to Cleveland, which is a happy tree.
What do you do when it is really cold outside and you really want to hug a tree. For some of us it would be a big problem, but Vivi has found a perfect solution. Go hug your dusty plant in the corner. Look how the plant has longed for a warm embrace and gently touching Vivi's cheek. That is one lucky plant. Thanks Vivi.Anma and I are, if we can say it ourselves, quite experienced tree huggers. Listen up - You have to pick a good site, when you go tree hugging. This next picture is from the town where the South and the North signed the end of the American Civil War. The town is called a long and impossible name to spell but it starts with an A. (Appomattox) Anma is hugging a younger Southern magnolia and I have my arms partly around a big old oak. I am sure that this oak was probably there when General Lee rode his horse up that long bending road to the court house where General Grant was waiting with his pen.

Gotta love your plants, even if they are a bit dusty! :o)
I plan on hugging some outdoor ones as well, of course.
Also, I've 'commissioned' some friends around the world to hug a tree, a palm tree or even a cactus.
You'll be first to receive the photos.
Keep on huggin'!
I LOVE your tree hugging pictures. They are great! Margo just shared your exciting news with me and I saw your blog address and had to check it out. Congratulations! --Haley
