    Good contractors are worth their weight in gold! Albert’s Man always tells his clients “I won’t be the most expensive. I won’t be the cheapest. But I will get everything done and I will never lie to you.”

    This makes me think wistfully of our cherry tree. It would be covered in beautiful white blossoms this time of year.

    A variety of factors contributed to its demise after 15 faithful years of bearing fruit and with much sorrow, we had it cut down last week.

    We saved a good portion of the trunk, so Albert’s Man can make something with the wood.

    Since last summer, when I suspected the tree wasn’t going to recover, I have been raising Baby Tree in a tub. Now that Venerable Tree has gone to its final reward, I’ll plant Baby Tree in its place.

    It will be some years until we have the bountiful harvests of the past, but there will be cherries again.

    He’s such a sweetheart. Westley’s not a bad guy, just a simple soul. Sophie needs someone more complex and artistic.
