Yesterday as I was walking the exercise path I created through and around our landscape I took a break to count the rings on a walnut tree just taken down. The tree was right on the fence line of our property and the farm behind us, and since it was rotten about one-third thru it was necessary to take down for safety.
The rings tell so much of the trees life. Their width tells a good year for growth and marks can tell a year that it substained damage. This tree had a life of 137 years, and I so wished it could speak to me about those years past.
