It's Been a Long Time Since I've Seen Her Naked

I know I'm getting old but trust me I have 20-20 vision and that's with my glasses on. But damn, it's been over a year since I saw her completely naked. And I must say, she looks better dressed. I hope I don't hurt her feelings, but she leaves me dumbfounded. I can see all her fine lines, curves and imperfections. For Christ sakes she looks like all bones, and she's skinny as a rail. There is a bright spot to this though. After 3-4 months I won't have to see her naked again for at least another year...and, she is the tallest tree on my block.

Eve Roper Date: 11/8/2023 9:09:00 PM Hahaha.... Great ending. I have a living oak in front the only tree.. so it stays dressed. Would you believe , I have been living here going on 15 years and this is the first time it has had acorns... and not very many. Take care friend Login to Reply Charles Messina Date: 11/9/2023 4:46:00 AM Thank you, Eve. WoW! How unusual...consider yourself lucky...those little acorns can become a nuisance (lol). Stay well, my dear friend.
