I absolutely love that tree because it represents just how resilient nature can be.Lois@Living In Denimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368939902298894344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-40331699169842540192016-07-11T14:43:41.164-04:002016-07-11T14:43:41.164-04:00You are probably the person commenting here who ca...You are probably the person commenting here who can identify the truck parts because of all of the work you do on your car. <br /><br />We don't have to go far to get to the concrete freeway town.

Seriously, CatMan can tell you the make and model of pretty much ANY car produced between 1950 and 1970, but to me they all look exactly alike. Of course, I'm sure he finds it equally funny that I can usually tell what variety of vinegar was used in a recipe just by tasting it. It just all makes me chuckle.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-54766100901920951162016-07-10T16:01:36.467-04:002016-07-10T16:01:36.467-04:00I had thoughts along similar lines as Cat!

Oh, that line made me laugh out loud. Because I, like many of your female readers I'm sure, couldn't tell a transmission from a hole in the ground. But the tree grown around the metal is certainly interesting, and I'll take Ward's word for it that we're looking at a transmission. :-)EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
