Friends


I have friends
Here they are!
A lonely little birch twig
My birch twig friends
Lilac seeds
And lots of lilac seeds
A lot of pretty friends



    Last year I heard a very interesting talk about the idea that trees can communicate. Apparently quite a bit of research has been done and there's a number of  indications that trees actually do communicate. Trees communicate if there is a sickness or disease to others so that they can protect themselves. Sound far fetched? The speaker made  strong case that makes it sound reasonable that trees have some method of communication.

     So my little trees have their friends to be with on these cold winter days.
