It's like my friends house in Phoenix where all of the yards are closed in by cinder block walls. Just doesn't feel like a warm environment, does it?

I'm pretty sure all the trees are still there (the occasional pomegranate still falls into the courtyard from my neighbor), but all I get to see is white tile. Not sure what the point in living in a courtyard-surrounding apartment complex is anymore!

Yippee! :) Yeah, I know it's their right... blah, blah, blah ... just kidding!.... (sort of!)... and yes, a pool would be way cool, but it still makes me crazy. I have been seeing healthy trees come down all over town lately and it's making me nuts! Everyone getting a jump on the 'falling leaves'???? Glad you like the "give-a-tree" project too...I love it. They have cards for all kinds of occasions and it's something I really want to do more. (Sent one to Kev & Will for an anniversary and they LOVED IT!) And when I think about how much $$ I spend on useless gifts sometimes....blaah! I would love to know more about the MetroParks program too...any idea where I'd find that info???

But you should consider that the reason they are cutting trees down is to put in a pool, now that would be so cool!!!! (close your mouth) I'm kidding. But it is their right to do what they want with those trees, but it would also be ok for you to print out the information on the "Give a tree" project. I think the "give a tree" project is a great idea for holiday gifts or just to send to someone to put a smile on their face. I am going to order some to send to family members - I must admit I would miss the rod iron votive candle holders but I would much rather know a tree had been planted. Also, the Cleveland Metro Parks have programs (or they used to) that you could have either flowers or trees planted in memory of someone. It's a little more expensive but a good program.
