Bracing for the winter I suppose. Stiff upper lip time for the trees, because of the winds we have here and they get whipped around. Losing their leaves (clothes) which can't be easy to do year in year out, going naked in the winter like that, so to speak.

Sorry you had to write off that complex but glad you made the safer, sane choice. I adored your poetic ending to this post and hope you get to go camping sometime.

So if they flower before a freeze, they'll be pleased and I will be also. My cats blame me for all inconveniences and give me credit for none of the gifts of life, like sunshine, or a sleeping spot that's cushy.
