Just a quick post to let you all know that a redwood didn't fall on me, my car or my hotel during that nasty storm.  Grandma's place was okay too, though they had no electricity all weekend.

This picture was taken about a mile from Grandma's house.  It was raining lightly, but I wanted to get at least one picture while I was up there.  This grand lady (the tree) was not the largest of the grove, but she was conveniently located 10 or 15 feet from the road.

It was a pretty wild and wooley weekend all and all.  I will post something more detailed when I'm not as tired and have had time to sort it all out in my head.  Despite the horrible weather it felt good to be back in the woods.

    As a lover of trees, I am cooing!  How I would love to come see those giant Redwoods!

    wombie - I actually gave this tree a hug before I left.  That's such a crazy thing to do for a former "local" that I nearly blush when I say it.  To me these trees are like my relatives, and they deserve my company, respect and love.

    uniquely-ironic:  Not crazy at all!  I've hugged a few in my day too, but none so majestic!

A few things I'm struggling with....
....its starting to look like that is not in the stars for me....
What is the cure for a loss of appetite? Recently, I cannot seem to eat much food, nor do I have the desire to eat. I am not sure why exactly, but I have experienced this in the past and have no idea how I got back to eating....
