so with school and my avalanche of stressors (situational and self induced) which shows no signs of slowing i don't get much quality time with the kids so i'm going to start taking either owen or oona for a few hours on saturdays so i can just have fun time with them and reconnect because i'm feeling really lost from them since school started and it's a horrible feeling. yesterday i took owen biking (that's zoo traffic in the background, don't even get me started on that since the easiest way to my home is taking the same street zoo parking is on.) and then we had hot chocolate and brownies together and it was really nice and such a welcome break from my life of late.
has anyone seen a tree with these type of thorny growths on it before?
owen and i kept talking about how nasty looking it was and he was saying if the womping willow in harry potter had these type of thorns on the ends of it it would be even nastier a tree than it already is and no amount of pumpking juice could heal the wounds such a tree might mete out.
here's owen poking at one of the more benign thorn growths.
owen's making a peace sign which you can see on the large version of this picture, probably not so clear scaled down this much.

mesquite trees in texas have these kinds of thorns but they grow all over. they are so sharp they pierced a tire on my dad's riding lawn mower once. crazy.
thinking of you.
hey so good to see prolific posts! We have one of those trees in a park nearby and it's so evil looking.
possibly a honey locust tree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_locust
check it.
