The Trees, Part 3

Trees require care, you know. Spraying and pruning before they leaf out, and, obviously, you have to be careful who does the spraying. And trimming back so as not to infringe upon the properties and rights of neighbors. Yes, yes, yes. I have already spoken on that subject.

It may appear that I am saying something here about my neighbors, and, it seems that the trees are not neutral, blank entities either. I mean, it seems that my trees are more righteous, more likeable than my neighbors' trees. So be it.

Trees also require watching, so that mowers and squirrels don't girdle the trunk or tear off too much bark and kill the tree. But do not all living things require some care? Well, maybe not the wild things.
