Stay safe and be happy!!

Rain will help the grass but wondering why part of the tree looks so dead? Did it look like that last year? Anyway, hope you get the rain without having to dance a whole lot! heheh Hugs XX00

ReplyDeleteI think the tree looks a "bit" better (fuller) than the month before. Hard to tell from the thumbnail photo, though.
ReplyDeleteHow To Do A Rain Dance
(Source: http://www.mcpasd.k12.wi.us/kms/weiss/Semester2/pageskr04/index.html
1. Never do a rain dance on a hill.
2. Make sure you have a lot of room so you
don't run into anything.
3. Spin around in clockwise circles.
4. Make up your own rain chant. It should be rythmical
and easy to say fast.
5. Yell your rain chant while spinning around in circles.
6. If you are trying to get rid of rain, spin in
counterclockwise circles and say your chant backwards.
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteWe are dancing to avoid the showers and getting wet here.
Have a good weekend. Hugs Nita.
Fingers crossed that you will GET the RAIN! I love your succession of tree pics!
ReplyDeleteBlessings....
ReplyDeletewhat a difference a few months make. They are all beautiful though. I have to confess to liking the trees when they are bare as well as blossomed.
Have a fabulous weekend

Rain, rain go your way!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you first started posting these, we wondered if the tree was even still alive. It's good to see that at least half of it is, but I'm sure this "no rain" isn't helping anything! Hope you get rain soon - and us too!
ReplyDeleteI like the tree log(journal). Before you know it, it'll start changing colors and losing leaves.I hope you get rain, a lot if you want. We're promised rain, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good Saturday.
Interesting. I do hope you get rain soon. It was supposed to rain last night in Mpls. hope it came your way. I love trees and they do need rain. Happy weekend, Beth.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry! but we has the rain for most of time in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteWe're looking for the warm weather soon.
I hope we going to have not just changing all the time...
Have a good time for you Beth!
Awww looks like part of the tree was a bit affected by the lack of rain. Hope rains come soon. Cool idea taking pics of the tree!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
joining the rain dance! :-)love the May 2012 shot with the green grass...blessed day to you....
ReplyDeleteSo did you get any rain!!!???:) That poor tree. Where is all the snow this year?? You should have been buried in it! That tree needs a bit of a pruning. New growth is in the center and it's a sign that it has been struggling a bit. Hope that rain reaches you. Have a good night. Chris
ReplyDeleteVery cool shots! That's a great looking tree!
ReplyDeleteThose are quite the snap hots, really shows how the tree comes back to life. Poor thing! Probably starving for some moisture/rain! I hope that ion the next few weeks, your temps cool down and that you are blessed with periodic rain showers to keep things cool and watered. Have a blessed up coming week.
ReplyDeleteI love that you post this tree. I love trees, so noble, historied, and essential. Thanks, Beth. Oh, and please keep dancing; we got a little rain!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying my best to send you some of OUR rain. whew...
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks as if it needs a nice pruning, poor thing. It's got some color indicating distress. What a good idea to document a tree all through the year. It is interesting.
ReplyDeleteJust did the rain dance! sandie
ReplyDeleteNeat to see the changes from month to month. Hope you get rain soon!
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks like it needs some rain too, and the grass ! oh dear, I hope you get enough aqua vitae to green it up.
ReplyDeleteIf the tree keeps getting closer , it is time to worry...
