A memory. Almost fifty years ago, my three daughters brought home from school, a little sprig of a tree. It was a gift for Arbor Day. I don't know if the schools still do that sort of thing or not.
Anyway, I planted them in our backyard. They grew magnificently!
They were all evergreens. I actually planted them too close together. At one point, I cut down one so another could thrive. Another of the three, got sick after about thirty years and I took it down.
One tree still stands. Amazing! It's lost a few branches over the years but it's looking pretty good, I'd say.
Fifty years. Happy Arbor Day! Make a memory for yourself. Today is Arbor Day.
