The Tree That Ate A House

Don't let this happen to you. By all means, be careful what you plant near your foundation, especially now that global warming has increased the metabolic rates of trees. The occupants of this modest brick ranch were lucky to escape.

    Steve, how delightful to see your humorous interpretation of the Marquand Tree and its brick interior.

    Something about the Three Little Pigs came to my mind...

    Nice to smile even in the throes of preservation urgencies.

    It was a joy to take this Inventory Walk with you, at long last, and I'll be back!

    Cheering on all your good works,

    your fellow nature blogger, Carolyn Foote Edelmann
