The tree which was hit more times than not. A marker of backing up the right way, or " a little more to the right. Children pedaling trikes and bikes, skates or scooters as Mom cried " Don't go past the tree!"




The wood burning stove where excited children hung their stockings for Santa's fill. The smokey smell that permeated every piece of clothing or blanket. The warmth of love that it gave from the working hands of dad as he fiddled with the wood to start a roaring fire.


The trees that represent the boys that became men as they served missions. First, just small saplings, but as their roots took hold, they grew and matured, as nourishment was made available.

Waking up on a cold morning and running downstairs to stand on the warm hearth in your barefeet, and getting dressed directly in front of the fireplace.

btw, Tim, maybe you can claim that second tree as yours!
