Thanks, polona. Yes, the trees seem often to know something we don't.

Thanks, aurora. You do, too, especially for someone your age.

For those who are busy writing all sorts of salacious scenarios, aurora had a fine poem at tinywords.com, and my ku was directly inspired by hers.

tikkis, as old as it feels, just like you and me.
