Roots of Change

There are a lot of roots that are around some old trees in in our back yard. They have come up to the surface and show signs of distress, but the tree seems healthy.

That area of our yard is so pretty to me just after the grass has been cut. The grass is healthy, the swing set is busy and the shade is cool. The roots are a reminder of time.

We have lived in this same house for eighteen years, planted many trees on a bare lot, lost many trees to the power company, and seen the yard change many times to meet the needs of our family.

Time marches on, trees grow, children grow, more children are born and they grow too, and the roots hold the stories of change.
