Oh Daver, you've got to love those "giant" majestic trees! It can't guard you so much when it comes to "overrun' rose bushes. Good thing you were wearing long sleeves!:) Have a great week!!! Love, Mikki

Daver, thank you for the wonderful comment.. your haiku's, are proceeded in the back hands of your time.. i hope no one got hurt.. i'm beginning to think you live in a bad neighborhood. I'm glad your tree can be protecting when least expected.. enjoyed.... have yourself a very wonderful day ;-) LINDA

Yep! Drive by shootings ... drugs...gangs. I love my house, though. They'll have to shoot me to get rid of me. Love, daver
