Tree's

What can I say, I'm A Tree Hugger.  I just Love tree's!  Especially nice big Old tree's.  I wonder if someone planted it, or did it just happen that a seed fell or an acorn fell to the ground, and just the right condition's happened, such as enough water and sunlight and no one rode a horse and buggy over it.  The reason for all this tree love is I have a beautifu old,old tree in my front yard, I chose to make my driveway right next to it  when we were building the house.  I wanted to come home everyday and see this beautiful old grandfather tree.  Well it's dying now, and it breaks my heart.  That old  oak tree has been there for a hundred years or more.  I have planted tree stakes under it and added miracle grow to it, but alas its all for  nothing, it is still dying. Here is a picture of it, not the best picture I could get as it's so big to fit it all in one picture that you don't get to see the lovely old bark on it and the knot holes in it, and the larger hole's where there used to be bigger branches.  But this is the Tree that God has allowed me to love, here in my time of life.  But I just found out that. that old tree has a surprise for me! 

And here is the suprise it has for me.....it has left me a little great,great,great grandson, which I will very carefully and lovingly find a very special place for it.  Hopefully one day my grandchildern will be able to play underneath it, and I'm quite sure my son's will them them about their tree loving mom!
