I chose my home largely due to the wonderful big trees in the yard. The house could be fixed up, but trees like mine only come around once in a lifetime. When I go on vacation anywhere without many trees, I miss them so much that it is almost a physical ache.
Like most people I have talked to, I am absolutely devastated over the brutal and senseless poisoning of the gorgeous and historic old oaks at Toomers Corner in Auburn, Alabama. That just disturbs me deep in my soul. And what if some fools decide to do "copycat" tree killings? Are any historic trees truly safe right now? Especially if they belong to an SEC school like the ones in "The Grove" at Ole Miss.
I am not going to stop praying that somehow, miraculously, these trees can be saved. And sending my best to my Auburn friends during this time.

Every time I see a story about the Toomers Trees I get teary eyed. Such disregard for life, for the property of others, for simple decency is beyond what I can comprehend. I know if prayers, good thoughts, and positive energy can save them those trees will make it because certainly those are being sent in abundance.
I still can't wrap my brain around it. There are tents over them now. I'm thankful the wacko didn't open up an automatic gun or something like that. People from all walks of life have come together to help replace the trees.
