An aside - is it just me or does a lot of this have to do with how fast time passes as you get older. You blink and a year goes by, and 40, and 50 seem to be coming awfully fast considering where I hoped to be at that age.

Its true but fortunately I have my trees to help me.
I have about 140 newer trees, poplars, maples, birches, etc and was mocked a bit by a friend when I was planting them six years ago.
"But they'll take 10 years or more to grow!!!"
My reply - "Ten years will pass whether I plant them or not. So I might as well plant them."
Time seems to slow down as I contemplate the various progress of my various trees, measuring how they're doing every year, spring through summer, replacing those that falter with disease or are killed by rutting deer, etc, etc. . . . . . .
You know, its a slow process to grow a tree.
As you get older, however, the trick is to find things that slow time down because you're right, it can fly if you're not watching.
