When I was a child, hemlocks made a big impression on me. Deciduous trees dominated in our yard and in most woods that I regularly played in with my sisters. Evergreens seemed special and magical whenever I came across them. A hemlock grew just off the porch at my grandparents' house, creating a mystical, shaded place, and providing compact cones that we collected and used as money, livestock, food--whatever our make believe games required.
