Swinging on the Ol' backyard tree







The old faithful tree in the backyard has seen seasons come and go. Has seen child and baby spend many a happy hour swinging. Its used for climbing, gives us the most beautiful shade cover for summer picnics and is home to many a mama bird and baby. Sigh... I love my tree

What a beautiful tree filled with beautiful children! We have a big ol' mulberry tree in our backyard. It's huge, shades half our house, and we love it! In fact, it is the reason we bought this house. I am totally serious. Our realtor took us in the back yard to show us the tree before he showed us the house! It was love at first sight....

Hi Beth

I am going to post a photograph of this tree in Summer. It is covered in the most beautiful pink blossoms. It usually blooms just a few days before christmas. I know its my christmas gift from above. We use the tree for party's and picnic's . I do understand purchasing your house for the tree. Its seen life happening through so many years. Lovely.

Blessings
