We just celebrated Mother’s Day and have Father’s Day coming up in June. It’s a special day because we all have or had a mother. They loved us with an amazing kind of love, probably unmatched by others who also loved us. God also loves us unconditionally. I hope we all enjoyed Mother’s Day: thinking about our mothers, honoring our mothers, even if they have passed on. Other days are special to us, like birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas. But what seems to you to be the most important day of the year? And, what is the most important day of your whole life?

Dear Neil, I just moved into a house that has a tree in the front yard with a high mound of mulch up around its trunk. When I tried to scrape the mulch away, I found large tree roots 2-3 in. in diameter coming out from the trunk, then turning straight down into the soil. Do I have to leave it like that? I really don’t like the look.
