Today I revisited my tree and bring a new update on our Northern Red Oak as the Vermont winter gradually relinquishes its hold. The signs of spring are becoming more pronounced, and our tree is embracing the changing season with grace and resilience.
Since our last update, there has been a beautiful transformation taking place. Delicate buds have started to emerge from the tips of the Northern Red Oak’s branches like tiny promises of life waiting to unfold. These buds, still tightly closed, hold within them the potential for new growth and vibrant beauty.
Phrenologically speaking, these budding branches symbolize the tree’s readiness for renewal. They represent the Northern Red Oak’s ability to harness the changing energies of the season, and they remind us of our own capacity for growth and transformation.
As I stand beneath the canopy of this majestic tree, I am filled with a sense of hope and anticipation. I will follow up this post with another update soon as we transition into spring and the forest becomes alive again.
