The huge Oak tree that guards my house (which Jeff Norman said was a probably a hybrid between Coast and Canyon) is telling me something that I cannot quite understand. She has never spoken to me in this manner before, but is doing so loudly now. Usually, she speaks softly and gently. This has been loud with bings and bangs on my metal roof and suggestions I wear a hat when passing beneath her. Is she telling me that we are in for a wet winter? Or is she telling me she is threatened?
