Jackson

Hi Folks!

Today I moved into my new house in Jackson. It's great! There's a living room with a couch, a rocking chair, and a smaller pea-green chair with a nifty blue pillow. There's also a kitchen with a backdoor that leads to a wooden back deck area. And guess what's out back -- I'll give you 2 guesses -- no, not shrapnel. No, not cans of Campbell's soup ... THAT'S RIGHT! LOT'S AND LOTS OF TREES!



Here's a video by a great band from Canada, Rush, singing a song about Trees.



Well well well....

Tonight my greeters took my travel companion Diego Wrath and I to the Pizza Shack where I had a vegetable pizza with Green Olives. That's right folks, I lit you snot, GREEN OLIVES ON PIZZA! What country are we in! Must be the Deep deep South.

After Pizza Shack, Diego and I traveled with our greeters to a late night hub known as Hal and Mal's. For those who need to know, Hal is short for Halliday and Mal is short for Mallard. PSYCH! Mal is short for Malcolm. Like Malcolm X, who did plenty of work in the South!

But enough about Mal X, let's discuss this spot. We saw a young singer songwriter play ukulele and guitar and sing sweet songs on longing and heartbreak, then I also watched the Lakers basketball match on the HDTV.

What's truly astonishing is a young woman I met, who happens to be the real Billy Madison! That's right, she actually went back to school, did each grade week by week, and graduated from High School, all over again! She even looked like Billy Madison! Jokes, jokes.

Well, it's time to go to sleep. Before I do, I want to put in my bid for the next Mayor of Jackson - Harvey Johnson, Jr. Get Jackson Back on Track!

Peace,

Philly Tree

Flow Sunrise

I need to take time to thank all who have shown Philly Tree their support. I wouldn't be here without you.

I've also received some more artistic praise for Philly Tree, as the following:


Although the sun has set the flow has rose

Listen

Listen

Tell

When will it glow with the light of the sun

Can the fish swim upstream and still have fun

Does it hit your heart like a beating drum

Does it smell so smooth like white winter plum

Listen

Listen

Listen

Gray Skies

So for the past few days it's been really gray, cloudy and rainy out, and it looks like that will be the case for the next several days to follow.

What the dill?

Anyways, hope everyone has been enjoying their 2009 so far. I haven't had much time to blog, what with work and chores and everything, but I have found time to listen to some dope songs.

Check out this bass player on Youtube. Snap!



I'd buy that for a dollar!

Have a fantastic week. If you feel gray, be sure to eat some popcorn and watch a new movie. I'd recommend Wolverine. His claws are FIERCE!

Enjoy your nachos and sangria responsibly,

Peace,

Philly Tree

Cut and Sewn

Hello everybody!

Today I don't have much news about trees, but I do have news about a fresh new blog made by my former neighbor and good friend Lee Frank. The blog is Cut and Sewn, and it's all about hip apparel and good music. Enjoy!

For your tree knowledge, here is a tree!

Oak Land

Hi Folks!

Today I am publishing a post about a group doing great things with trees.

There are all kinds of great things you can do with trees. Climb them. Hug them. Eat berries from them. But what's the greatest thing of all? Planting them! Here is a picture of a group from the Parks and Leisure Services in Oakland to plant trees in Oakland Park.

Way to go, Oakland!

The King's Tree

Today we introduce a NEW SECTION to the Philly Tree Blog - The King's Tree!

This section is where KING ROY has his say about trees!

KING ROY comes from a large background of tree lovingness. From an early age his love of trees became cultivated. He went to Springfield High School, and went to school in Upstate New York, home to a vast number of trees.

He then went on to live in Melrose Park, in a house that hosts a dogwood tree triumphantly displayed on the front lawn. So without further ado, KING ROY shares with us an important story that sheds light on the the origin of trees.

There once was a panda who fell in love with a tree.
He walked up to the tree, gave it a kiss, and said, "Twee, I wuv you".
When the tree didn't respond, he wrapped his arms around the tree, gave it a big hug and a big kiss, and cried, "Twee, I wuv you!"
The tree still didn't respond so he wrapped his arms and legs around the tree and, shaking with passion, gave it a mad passionate kiss, and yelled "Twee! I Wuv You!"
The tree stubbornly refused to respond, and the panda went home disappointed.

The moral of our story is:
Only God can make a tree.

The King has spoken.

KUDO TREE

Hello Folks!

Today I am introducing a new section of Philly Tree Blog - The Kudo Tree!

The Kudo Tree is a place to give kudos, or props, to people, places, things, organizations or anything else that celebrates trees.

The first Kudo Tree goes to...

Estonia!

Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce Applesauce

Many nations have national trees.

ENGLAND! UNITED STATES! SERBIA!

But only Estonia has the oak tree as not just their national symbol, but as their COAT OF ARMS!


(Estonian Coat of Arms)

That's right, the mighty oak, the common symbol of strength and endurance, is celebrated in grand fashion by Estonia by using it as their historic symbol.

Way to go, Estonia!
