Happy Birthday! I can't imagine standing in a line like, "Um, my plant died. Can you help me?" Who even thinks of that, lol. Love this blog, Mari. I look forward to reading it every Wednesday.

Of course asking me to post an article I read lately and liked made my brain go blank. So it goes. But I share your dislike of eggplant despite trying really really hard to like it. Also, I lived in Princeton for many years, but didn't know the story of the Princeton Elms, though I loved driving down that street! Happy Birthday, Happy Wanderer! Keep wandering.

That XKCD comic cracked me up.

Right? How can redwoods and kale possibly be related?!

And than you for writing such a beautiful and thought-provoking meditation on the meaning of trees in our lives.
