Old Tree Stump with New Life

One morning I walked by this tree stump in our little forest and I saw the new shoots. How cool is that! This ice damaged tree just does not give up. It will grow again and we will let it!
Eines morgens bin ich an diesem Baumstumpf in unserem kl. Wald vorbeigekommen und sah die neuen Triebe. Ist das nicht toll! Der vom Eis geschaedigte Baum (deshalb mussten wir ihn ummachen) gibt nicht auf. Er wird wieder wachsen u wir lassen ihn auch!

Hello Gudl: Nice to be back home and have time to visit my blog friends.
Your tree stump is such a good illustration of the human spirit. Refusing to give in or give up!!

The little trunk that would not give up! Isn't that amazing?! I never know after the damage of the frost if our trees or bushes will make it.

Thank you for visiting me! :)
