I know I mentioned back in January that several mature trees have been cut down in front of the church my family attends. What I forgot to add is that some of them have been replaced. The new saplings are tall and straight. They seem to be healthy. Their placement was carefully thought out. When they grow they won’t threaten any sidewalks, walls or fences. Already there are clumps of cheerful daffodils blooming at their feet. I always feel a sense of loss when a tree dies, even when I understand that the tree must go. But watching these young saplings settling in is somehow a great comfort to me.
