We sold the house we lived in at that time, but do drive by to check out the tree from time to time. I like the family bonding over the event the best.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001818777096357255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593600718404245776.post-31568855783889235382007-06-05T03:56:00.000-06:002007-06-05T03:56:00.000-06:00I am fanatical about trees and cried when my compl...I am fanatical about trees and cried when my complex drastically cut branches off some as people complained about not having enough light.<BR/><BR/>Glad you managed to save some f the little ones for replanting.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593600718404245776.post-35905859101021821822007-06-05T00:16:00.000-06:002007-06-05T00:16:00.000-06:00ps -- I suspect squirrels have a role in the myste...ps -- I suspect squirrels have a role in the mystery! :o)Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593600718404245776.post-85490277036717078882007-06-05T00:14:00.000-06:002007-06-05T00:14:00.000-06:00Hi Vivacious: It was like a little vegan victory....Hi Vivacious: It was like a little vegan victory. :o)<BR/><BR/>Hi Amey: We have 2 giant walnut trees in our backyard, and we get volunteers all the time! If you don't want them, pull them right away, as they are quite vigorous and have deep roots that become impossible to pull and keep coming back.

I love it! <BR/><BR/>My mother, who couldn't deal with our vegetarianism for a long time--ie would just serve the same old roast beef sandwiches for lunch and let us just eat the fixin's--last time we visited made us a broccoli tofu casserole! Amazing. It certainly wasn't the best vegan fare I'd ever eaten, and I wish she'd check out the cookbooks I recommended instead of just internet-surfing for recipes, but she's trying!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577327080587108034noreply@blogger.com
