It's the sound of summer. I love it. Not summer---it's too hot here in Austin to love summer, but shady cottonwoods do make the heat more bearable.

I'm writing a book about cottonwood trees and would love to include mention of your "Save the Cottonwoods Society" (that makes at least 2 out there...can it be a trend?).<BR/><BR/>Please e-mail me, Sally, I would love to chat a little more about these fabulous trees!

I was a budding arborist (pun intended) working for a college campus. There were several large cottonwood trees that need some large dead limbs removed that were threatening pedestiran traffic. <BR/><BR/>We climbed to remove them and upon my decent, Islipped and fell. Luckily I was wearing the proper gear and was caught by my rope and harness. We all had a good laugh after I caught my breath... The view from the top of this tree was amazing! <BR/><BR/>Great article, thanks for bringing back a funny memory.<BR/><BR/>Chris (Kent, WA)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643585.post-1146456478424576212006-04-30T20:07:00.000-08:002006-04-30T20:07:00.000-08:00Greetings Divas!Thanks for getting your Alaskan ga...Greetings Divas!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for getting your Alaskan gardening blog up and running. I've been enjoying your column in the Frontiersman and I've marked your blog in my Favorites.<BR/><BR/>I have a couple of giant cottonwood trees in my yard, and now I'll condiser them in a new light. When my kids were little, they used to get the long white cottonwood fuzzies, put them on a leaf and call them polar bear worms. They thought it was hilarious. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work...and I think spring is finally here.<BR/><BR/>Bridgette (near Bogard Rd.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643585.post-1146449668618037812006-04-30T18:14:00.000-08:002006-04-30T18:14:00.000-08:00Great Article!
