They're native to our area, so do well. And spruce get quite large around here. <br /><br />I still haven't had my walk, now I'm hoping for tomorrow. It's lovely and warm and sunny here, 8C, and everything is melting.Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313413260127376288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-81463504710994065652023-02-04T17:26:27.882-05:002023-02-04T17:26:27.882-05:00I just hate it when people cut down trees and plan...I just hate it when people cut down trees and plants they have no idea the value and beauty of.

The oak trees we have here are so tiny, it's sad, but they persist. Glad you got outside for a good walk. I meant to walk today but by the time we got back from Wetaskiwin to visit my father in law and got the pork ragu simmering, it was time to pick Jack up from daycare. Tomorrow hopefully.
