Leaning Trees
Thoughts after Hurricane Rita: My small stand of young pines are leaning. State forester Paul Frey, “Don’t give up on these leaning pines. Most will straighten up and grow tall. Don’t lose your investment.” Don’t give up on those leaning trees. I’ve worked with teenagers all of my life. I’ve seen my share of “Leaning Teens.” They were bent due to a whole host of reasons. Don’t give up on those leaning teens. Over time, they will grow tall and straight.
