Wonderful post, Emese! I feel a similar kindred spirit sensation when revisiting certain places that are home to certain trees... For example, the oaks on the way down from the bus stop to the village at home, a welcome respite on hot summer days as you're carrying your 8-10 kilogram backpack down (or up) the mountain... Unfortunately, they're beginning to cut those oaks out for no reason at all, I really pray they will leave some of them!!!

Another tree I know very well is the ash tree by our house, as well as the two cherry trees in the yard. Trees make a home!

Thank you, Csermely! Oh, those oaks sound so wonderful, I'm sorry they are cutting them, it makes me so sad to hear it :(. But the other trees sound wonderful, too, especially the cherry trees in your yard! I miss cherry trees, probably the most, from my childhood home. You are right, trees do make a home ... and a village... I hope they won't cut down all the oaks that live on your way to the bus stop.
