Pine trees are called evergreens and I ask myself why? When
in reality they lose their needs just like leaves of a deciduous tree. Well, OK
that may be over generalizing. What I do know is that I am constantly raking
pine needles. So today while I was
raking I started to ponder the idea of why are they consider to be
conifers. In my head I instantly made a
Venn diagram. I instantly have a thought
about how school has taken over my life.
As I rake and the piles stack up, I start to imagine the
needles multiplying as I rake. I raked off the deck which has a total of two
pine trees one on each end. I must have gotten three wheel barrows full. Last
month when I swept the deck there were just a few. Where do these needles come
from? The trees are still full of green needles and the deck seemed to have
needles that are brown in color.
With each wind storm between now and spring more dead
needles will fall. When spring comes the trees will produce new growth and
needles and without ever losing all there needle. However, the tree is always
green: thus, the reason for their classification as conifer trees.
While this blog is a bit boring and rattles on, I am trying
to force myself to write. When I force this is what you get.
