The tree is gone, but we filled window boxes with salad greens and herbs and pansies, the windows gathering light they haven't felt in decades. I'm mourning for the tree, but cheering for the sun and celebrating with the sills.

I wonder what this summer will mean to me in ten years. It already means so much to me now.

  2. Yes, me too. This month I started planting basil and tomatoes. I hope they grow well :D Anyway, that's a great idea. I'm sure there will be nights when you will miss your favorite tree but I hope those little ones will make you happy :)
