A major confession...

[susandennis]

This will shock some. Probably I should put it behind a cut. It shocks me a little. Really.

The Tree that I Hate? I'm not hating so much this year. Seriously. In previous years its leaves were half green and half brown/yellow and shed this horrible dusty stuff. But, this year, it's very green - bordering on lush.

And... in the early mornings... it is now full enough to give me some shade. Tomorrow I'll grab a picture of it.

It still blocks my view so I cannot see if donkeys are flying and I'm far from loving the tree but I'm having a hard time holding on to the hate.

Plus today is wonderful weather wise. It's a little overcast and breezy. I can have the door open and, miracle of miracles, the pounding boys must be at an offsite. No pounding at all today. Very very nice.

I've been thinking about your tree because there's a growing tree outside of my 4th floor apartment that I'm growing to hate! Not that my view is all that great, but it's blocking more and more of it. I will be moving eventually, but in the meantime I'm happy to adopt your hate. :)

[susandennis]

Oh that is wonderful!! Having it go to a new, good home is more than I could have hoped for! :)

Glad to adopt it! I'll also get a photo up soon, so that everyone can follow my tree.

What have you done with the real Susan Dennis?!

[susandennis]

She's gone off to be a super model. I'm taking over. Step back.

Next thing you know you'll be saying you like it sunny and hot ;)

Well, having seen it from the outside, it's a beautiful broad-leaf maple and the alleged view it hides is mostly parking lot and not the most attractive angle of the pair of stadiums at the far end of the lot. Beats having a condo built across the street.

Oh, I could not disagree with you more. In fact, they are getting ready to build a building of residential/retail units in the north end of that parking lot. I am going to be SOOOOO pissed that 1. I will not be able to view all of the construction and 2. I will not be able to see into the building when it growss up across the street.

When my parents lived in NYC, their apartment was on the 9th floor and had windows on 3 sides! It was great fun to go around and check on all the neighbors.

While I may not totally hate the tree any more, I would still be very grateful if it disappeared. I like my partking lot!

Beware! If you start liking a tree now, you might feel the urge to move to the suburbs in a few years. :)
