I've heard the phrase 'Live Oak' many times but have never had the opportunity to ask if it is a species of oak, or whether it differentiates them from, say, dead oaks? This may sound flippant - but I promise it's an earnest question.

They had a couple of really big oaks in their yard not too far from their home for the longest time. When lightening struck one catching it on fire scared them so they had them taken down. We were saddened to see them disappear but understand the reasons why. With the passing of DH's father a few years ago, the home was given to the woman who cared for him 24/7 in his last days for payment of her services and we can no longer enjoy that house full of memories and love anymore. That's really sad! Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-34569251864249825592020-09-10T06:28:19.906-05:002020-09-10T06:28:19.906-05:00One of the things I love most about Texas, Kay.One of the things I love most about Texas, Kay.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-13370650351158831922020-09-10T06:27:52.577-05:002020-09-10T06:27:52.577-05:00Yes, we have those a little south of us.
