[Leica] IMG: Death of an Oak Tree

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi Arche,

When we built in 1967, we cleared out a number of trees and left about 8 or 
9 on a 3/4 acre lot. We are now down to two original oaks, and are replacing 
the missing trees as we can.  You are correct, it does take time to accept 
the change.
