Wow! I had no idea those things lived that long!

About twenty miles from my house was a 300 year old Maple tree called the Crocker Maple, and I believe it fell in an ice storm last year.

When I saw that tree a few years back, I admit there was something awesome about standing there looking at it, just imagining everything that tree had presided over.

Big ole maple tree at my grandmother's house. That's my F150 parked 25 or 30 feet behind it on the road.

Ah, Rockport. One of my favorite getaways. Come on, retirement ... I'm ready to make it a permanent home.
