Well this is where the developing theme with the main character’s mother is so relevant. In modern Spanish, ‘madrona’ isn't used, but according to the official RAE dictionary it was an old word for ‘matrona’ or midwife. Nowadays these trees are called ‘madroño’ which has no other meaning than the tree. But the echo of ‘madre’ for mother is there throughout.
Excellent and I'm starting to feel beyond the family trauma something deep and dark brewing
It's curious that the tree is called madrone, I just checked up on it. Interesting the way the bark peels off like that
They’re beautiful trees! The name could easily have come from back in our Alta California days. What does madrone mean?

That’s funny, maybe my subconscious put it together without me. That strange brain animal is pretty clever sometimes.
I hope the dog survives! I also hope Vincent survives, but the dog always takes top priority.
