Earliest Tree Memories

Earliest Tree Memories

The house was built in the 1940s, but these trees must have been older than that. They were so massive that the area in between and around them served as a natural playground for years to come. I learned all about bugs and birds and squirrels from those trees. My sister and I climbed all over them, hid in their nooks and crannies, drew pictures with chalk in our driveway under their shade.
