Rowans for Rowangolightly

[ar_wahan]

This is my baby American rowan (the white thingy on the far right is a "garlic clip" meant to discourage deer from nibbling at it).



This is a mature rowan with its autumn berries, found growing wild in Wales as I was walking down the valley to find where I lived in a past life. There were whole forests of them along the rail line coming in from Portmadoc.

Thanks for sharing that.

is the second photo a really significant place for you? It has that "feel" to it.

Oh, yes.

It is on the road that runs down a short, narrow valley to my past-life home in Wales.... or rather, the home my parents, brother and I lived in with my grandfather and his second wife (oddly, my mother's sister--and, I think, my matenal grandmother in this incarnation) for a time when we had to give up our home in Penmachno (I think -- need to go there to be sure) when there was a depression in North Wales in the 1820s. We went from there to Maine. FYI, I've been returning to my past life memories in the last few posts. Next time, will actually talk about going back to Wales in 1986 to check things out (that's when I took the second photo).
