It's so exciting for you to finally be living off the land! I wish you all the best on your new adventures! Those trees look very old and wise...perhaps they wanted you to stop and admire them...lol.
Also stopping by to say that you have been featured and curated for MSP Community Curation: Top Five 'Positive PAL Posts' - Week #18
Thank you, my soul sister! I'm really excited too. I told my host the same thing. The tree near his house is 40 years old or so. He says the Shola trees used to be magnificent, but unfortunately a lot of older trees have been cut, damaged or replaced by invasive species. It was still quite the experience walking under the magnificent canopies of the existing trees though.
Also, thank you for the curation. I'm honoured you thought this was positive enough for it.
