THE TREE #8

This is the eighth posting in the series “THE TREE” which follows the life of a special Honey Locust tree in the Gardens at Waters East.  If you have not read the first posting, it might be most helpful for you to do that.  Go to the archives in this Blog and check out the posting – click on: beginnings  - found on March 7, 2014.  Reading this short introduction will put this tree, this posting, and future postings in proper perspective.  It will be helpful.

  2. This shows the lake effect this time of year. Our Honey Locusts have already turned golden and then lost their leaves. So, even though you're north of me, your autumn must be a little milder. On the other side, springtime happens faster here. Interesting.
