Fond Farewell

When we first brought the ground in Burton the Rotary Club were selling trees. Dad asked if we would like some. I said 5 - 10 would be great thinking they would be pretty good sized trees. Well he brought all ten of them wrapped inside a sheet from the newspaper.

Just last week we had to cut one of them down. It had grown from a small twig to a huge tree. It was getting so big and the roots were growing everywhere. Even to the point of lifting up the playhouse. But it was sad to lose such a wonderful tree that provided so much shade for our back yard.
