We have two special trees planted on our farm. The first one if for my Dad and the second one is for Daryl’s parents.
My dad always loved trees and knew just about everything that there was about them. Just by looking at the leaves he could name that tree within seconds. He also did awesome woodworking and he would hand pick out the tree that he would have cut down and have locally dried. He’s made a lot of our furniture in our house and like I said – it’s awesome! I think his love of wood and trees might have started when he was young because when he was a kid he helped his dad in the saw mill and was always around trees.
So in memory of Dad – Grandpa Franzen, we have this tree planted in our back yard. I really like to look at it in the spring when it’s just getting it’s leaves and then as the seasons pass through the year, the leaves turn a beautiful red color.
The picture of the day isn’t just one picture, it’s a couple of them. The pictures are Dad’s tree getting ready for summer.
