General Tom's Miracle Tree

Miracle Tree:  Damn thing won't die!

The flowering tree that you see is located in my back yard. (Yes, I am a property owner). It has been struck by lightening three times. That's right, THREE times. After the third time, the tree was so damaged that we cut it down to a stump. Over the years it has slowly grown to this point. Of the six different trees along my rear property line, this was the largest and most beautiful.  It will be, again.  It needs some pruning.

By the way, the horses that you see are not mine. They belong to the neighbors.
