I miss you mom. I probably always will.

The only time of year our Choke Cherry tree looks good. After the fruit sets on in a few weeks the leaves will get brown and shrivel and it'll look damned near dead. The birds have to be pretty hungry to eat the fruit but they will eventually and the tree will be bare long before winter.
