The Amazing Self-Pruning Tree!!


Monsoon season is well upon us, at my mom's house we can always tell when it's the season becuase of the magical tree in the front yard. Each year it grows as big and tall as it can only to grow old of its newly grown limbs, and figures the drive way and street are the best places to dispose of its unwanted excess. It's great, and it serves as some fine entertainment during the hot summer months. The sucky part is having to cut it all into tiny little pieces so the trash guys will pick it up. Here's a picture of the self-pruning tree in action, the dead leaves to the right is the limbs mom has just hired someone to come cut off.... had she wanted 2 more days the tree would have done it for her! oh well....until next year.

That's funny I think I noticed the wreckage but not the frequency. I love monsoon season. Britt do you remember when we were driving from Kinkos that one day and watched the sky turn orange? What was so funny? Was that the BINK day? GTGT
