The Romance of Trees

Asked for my favorite old neighborhood name, I responded Woodland Heights. Which is sad because as a resident of Houston, I just saw all the old trees destoryed all over town. One was broken like a toothpick right behind my head during Hurricane Ike. We kept one of our old oaks, lost the other. Yet I still love them. A couple of days ago, a new friend said "I'm from Oak Forest, you know, where all the oaks are on the ground now." It's a tragic romance here in Houston.
