this is what i saw one day when i turned to look out my office window. did i mention my office is on the second floor.

when we first moved into our house this wispy tree didn't even come to the base of my office window. now the tree's top peeks over our roofline. i've barked at many a child on many a day trying to protect this handsome and small dogwood. it looks like all my coddling has paid off as the tree can now hold three, sometimes even four youngins in its thickening branches. granted the little people testing its limbs usually weigh less than fifty pounds, but still.
