RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

TREES

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.
