Introduction from the Thriving Pine

Where’d that title come from, you ask?   This is the copy cat blog.  I just want to thank you, Thirsty Magnolia, for the idea.  I have no Magnolia trees around my house, by the way.  I do, however, live amongst woods, which is on the edge of The Kisatchie National Forest, lots and lots of pines are found here.

A little about the pine:  they have pine needles, they’re evergreen, slow growing, and resistant to drought.  I have also read that the pine tree can survive in poor, sandy soil.  
A little about me:  I have lots of pine needles - good and bad qualities; I’m evergreen - true to myself and others; slow growing, well it seems like growth is speeding up nowadays; and resistant to drought, that's negativity.  Pine trees supply firewood to keep the family and friends warm and entertained.  And then, there is the Christmas tree, just a small part of a wonderful season.  I plan on surviving any type of "soil" life throws at me, whether it be poor and sandy or rich and hearty.  And know that, I am loving the rich and hearty days and surviving the poor, sandy ones.
