Our once luscious, thriving Mountain Ash Tree…..a shadow of it’s former self……thanks to two little-boy arborists. Last summer they were doing some ‘trimming’. And somehow it was just too fun, and they got a little too carried away. They had hacked off all the branches they could reach from the ground – the ones Neika is standing on. And then they kept right on going to all the ones that they could reach from standing on a chair. And well, now we have a very lame looking tree, with some branches at the top.
I was lying on the ground underneath the tree with my camera, taking pictures of them jumping on the tramp, and the red berries against the bright blue sky looked cool as I was looking up.
