Yesterday for Mother's Day Beth had made a craft flower with chores written on the petals. She was so keen and adamant that she would do these chores to help Luisa. She is a  good girl, a kind and loving child who really wants to bring happiness to people.

Today I noticed how beautiful our words for trees are.

Alder, oak, beech, hickory, mesquite, pecan, maple, cherry, apple, plum...

I think that the beauty of trees themselves must have inspired people to name them in a special way.
