Shade


Over the years the house we call home has changed a lot. The builder planted two silver maple trees in our front yard and they matched every house -- all had two silver maple trees. I can remember the day I used my new chain saw to cut the trees down and clean them up. We burned the wood in our fireplace. As time passed there were years when the entire front was shaded by a pin oak, a sunburst locust and a plane tree. When this photo was taken the locust was still there but my wife complained about the tiny leaves that were tracked into the house. Now, after a costly landscape change the front of the house looks completely different.
