Oak trees provide shade and some of the finest hard wood. Oak trees provide acorns which squirrels eat and gather. In Florida (and other places), spanish moss hangs down from them. It's one of the things I think about when someone talks about "old Florida". I think about a path through the woods or a country road or highway with oak trees on either side.
We have two live oaks in our back yard. One of them has two swings hanging down from it where the kids have swung or an adult as gone out to sit and talk on the phone or read a book.
For all the beauty, the shade, the acorns, the wood - I'm grateful for oak trees.
