Poor Old Tree

This was the apple tree that lived in our front yard. Originally it was apart of the apple orchard before our neigborhood was a subdivision and it was an apple orchard. The rings indicate that it was over 60 years old. There are now only 2 trees left from the orchard. They still line up in a row. This tree has some accomplishments.

Climbed many times. Bore much fruit ( except for last year, when it produced 1 apple). Knocked my dad unconcious. The night my grandpa had his stroke, he was running (my dad, not grandpa) out the front door and a branch clocked him hard. Last year a neighbor kid, fell out. When I was a kid it was a really cool hang out.

So these, were the tree executioners. The they were "bad a**" They knew how to cut down a tree. It was like watching a chainsaw ballet. And what is really cool is that Dave is the rhythm guitar player in The Grey Dogs. Anyway, if you need a tree dude, let me know and I will give you his number. Thanks for the memories Apple Tree.
