Hi Pals,
Do you have a tree in your home? Have you ever decided to plant a tree? I have 5-6 trees around my home. Its cool and airy and gives fresh breathe outside my home.
What are all the trees you have? Have you had the habit of sitting under a tree reading, listening music...
Why don't you share your....

Yes actually My apartment is located at the centre of agricultural area that are rich in trees , plants and of course water. Here river cauvery is flowing and we are in the back of that river. I like to read in the bank, there it is so cool because of the shadow of the trees and river water. I like to read stories, write poems here. It is amazing to read and write here. Happy Mylotting.

No we don't have because we don't have space to plant trees. We are planning to plant trees in the land of my Father in the province if we move there next year. I love also sitting under the tree it gives me comfort. In the house we rent before I planted trees there I was 9 when I planted them. I think if the owner house didn't cut it I think it is already bears fruit now. My only dream is to plant apple tree but it is impossible here to grow it because of the weather.

I have fruit trees surrounding my house but not in the house itself.. and nope, we don't sit under a tree as we live in the city and the air and environment do not permit us doing so.. but I love to have a day under a tree reading up.. or maybe up in the tree house like what I used to get back in my grand parents countryside home..

Yes we have some trees in my parent's house. My father loved to do gardening and he has made a very nice garden in our house. We have many varieties of trees papaya, mango, guava to name a few. As a kid me and my sister always used to play, sit under those trees so I never felt it as a special thing. But now as I live in a rented appartment far from my hometown with no trees around the house I miss those days badly. Awesome days they were.

Appartment life is really a boring one... without nature involvement. I really hate being in apartments 'cause I've been in apartments once. I really feel bad living there.. Thanks for sharing your experience... Enjoy Mylotting.... Cheers...

Phillip can I ask from which part of India are you. Because it is possible to plant apple trees in Northern parts of India. That's from where I am.

Really sad.... I never had an experience like that before.. Thanks for sharing it.. Here we use that word 'jujubee' for fun. It has not any real meaning in our language but with friends, we use to say 'jujubee' for a real easy task.. I mean for a simple task we use to say it is 'jujubee'.
Nice reading your response.. Have a great day... Cheers

hello, Phillip! Yes, for years I've been plating trees to lessen the problem in my environment. I love to see my tress growing healthy and in every afternoon, I put a chair under it and start reading my favorite book, it relaxes me.
I don't just plant trees for our place but I also plant trees in black plastic bag and when it is ready to transfer I gave it to my friends or to someone who wants it. In those little way I hope it lessen the problem of our mother earth.
I love the nature so much!

Good day phillip_shiny,
We actually have a lot of trees in our backyard, it was planted by my father long time ago and now they are really full grown tree. We have a mabolo tree, 3 mango trees, tamarind tree, and many more . My brother created a swing or cradle and he tied it up on two of our trees, and it is one of the best place to take a nap, specially during summer when the weather is hot.
God bless.
Happy MyLotting .

We have several trees in our home: an avocado tree which I planted myself, it's bigger now, champaca tree, some palm trees, a lychee tree and guyabano. No, I don't have the habit of sitting under a tree to listen to music but under our lychee tree I wash my clothes. Yes, truly, trees give a fresh and cool feelings when the air breeze blows. Cheers!

Yes I have fruit trees in my lot. I have mango, avocado, rambutan,and papaya tree and a garden of vegestable in my loan. Yes same as you I love to stay under the tree. In fact I put a swing under the mango tree. We usually do picnic under those trees if we saw that it bears fruits. We have fun while we harvesting the fruits specially if it ripe already. Same thing when we harvest the vegestable. My kids have fun looking fruit of the pumpkin, eggplants, ampalaya and string beans. It was fun if you have a small garden inside your load....

i envy those people who have more than enough area to plant a tree on..ours is just small so i can't really grow those big trees where you can stay under during those summer nights..but back in our province, we have so many big trees much older than our grandparents! and as we grew up surrounded by them, we actually gave them a name! and during vacations, we would play hide n seek under those trees..we climbed, put hammock...i truly missed those times..

ya, there are many trees in my garden planted by myself and in the evening time i do sit under a tree. coconut tree, mango tree , litchi tree ,guava, lemon, orange etc. i.e. many more.I specially wait for the fruits to ripe so that i can eat it.I dont sit mostly under these trees bcos the birds sit and make nest on the trees and the ground becomes dirty so not safe for me to sit under trees.

Our house has three trees around it, they're all very big. We have a good sized garden with sunflowers, carrots, tomatoes, lots of plants. It's very refreshing to go outside because even though we are in town we have nature.

When I was young I have two plums tree im my garden which are very small. But when i was even younger ,living in a village ,I have trees all around on the hill, on the road and everywhere! In summer, the hill is allover green. In autumn leaves have fallen off and it's possible for us children to climb to the top to see the view of the village. Air is dry ,wind is warm, and when seeing so far away we felt full of joy! Now i'm studying in a college and I really miss those days.
