SO WHAT'S MISSING FROM THIS SPRING PHOTO OF THE HAWTHORNE TREE IN FRONT OF THE CLASSICAL KQMC STUDIOS?
Nevada Mike 30.APR.08
HAPPY MAY DAY FROM HAWTHORNELIVE!
WE FEATURED A PICTURE A COUPLE DAYS AGO WE FELT SHOWED LESS THAN MET THE EYE. TODAY THE OPPOSITE MAY BE TRUE. MANY OF YOU HAVE WATCHED OUR TWO FRUITLESS MULBERRY TREE'S GROW AND LIFT THEIR LIMBS SKYWARD IN FRONT OF OUR G STREET STUDIOS. YOU ALSO KNOW THEIR NAMESAKES, DARR AND WANDA WHO PASSED OVER SOME YEARS AGO BUT STAY IN OUR HEARTS AS WE GROW HAWTHORNELIVE AND KQMC IN THEIR HONOR.
WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN IS OUR HAWTHORNE TREE WAS THE THIRD TREE WE PLANTED THAT SUMMER, INBETWEEN DARR AND WANDA IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER WHO IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE AND IS DEDICATED TO ALL OF US WHO LIVE IN THE PRESENT AND STRIVE TO BE PART OF MAKING THIS A MORE COMPLETE AND CARING WORLD.
BECAUSE OF AGE, DISTANCE, AND A STROKE, MY FATHER MAY NEVER SEE HIS NAMESAKE HAWTHORNE TREE IN PERSON, BUT HIS MEMORY AND POWER AS A GREAT FATHER AND FINE PERSON IS THE FIRST THING I SEE EVERYDAY AS I STEP OUT MY FRONT DOOR, AND I LOVINGLY SHARE HIS LIFE WITH YOU HERE ON HAWTHORNELIVE.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS ABOUT THIS PICTURE THAT WERE DELIBERATELY CREATED AND ONLY RECENTLY HAVE COME TO LIFE. GORDON OXLEY, PICTURED JUST ABOVE MAKING THE PUTT AT THE 18TH HOLE OF THE LUCKY BOY LINKS, IS 90 YEARS OLD AND TOLD ME HIS FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD IS JUNE LAKE, ABOUT AN HOUR WEST OF HERE JUST PAST LEE VINING. I SHOWED HIM HOW THE ROCKS AROUND THE HAWTHORNE TREE HAD BEEN PLACED IN WAYS TO REMIND ME DAILY OF MY OWN GOOD TIMES AT JUNE LAKE, BOTH PAST AND FUTURE. WITH A THE PRICE OF GAS THESE DAYS, MY FRONT YARD MAY BE AS FAR AS I GET MOST DAYS.
THE FLAG PROUDLY FLYING OVER THE HAWTHORNE TREE IS MY DAILY TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF DAVE FERGUSON WHO HELPED BRING US OUR OWN BIG FLAG IN VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK. HAWTHORNE IS A LIVING TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO OVERCOME EARLY ADVERSITY TO LIVE LIVES OF COURAGE AND INSPIRATION.
WHAT'S MISSING FROM THIS PICTURE IS THE YELLOW BREASTED MOUNTAIN CHICADEE THAT VISITED OUR RED BERRY LADEN HAWTHORNE TREE JUST AFTER I TOOK THIS PHOTO. THE HAWTHORNE HAS BEEN CONSIDERED A SPECIAL TREE FOR CENTURIES AND HAS BEEN NICKNAMED THE MAYBERRY TREE FOR THOSE BRIGHT RED BLOOMS IN APRIL AND MAY. APPARENTLY THE BIRDS OF HAWTHORNE WOULD AGREE. HAVE A GREAT MAY.
