My Obscession with Trees
I think I've always been obscessed with trees. When I was a child, I would always go to the back of the field behind my house and sit in an old crab apple tree. If I was feeling adventerous, I would pack a backpack and take my dog and make a pilgrimage to the Oak Tree, one of the largest in our area, which was another field farther on, about half a mile away or so. I always felt a sense of immenseness and awe when I stood under that tree. Trees just make me feel good. We have ten varieties of trees planted in our yard, which, before we moved in, had only three trees. I would plant more but we're running our of room. My favorite tree by far is the white birch- one of which I do have, a red-leaf white birch.
