I’ve never seen a partridge in our pear tree, but I’ve seen cardinals, blue jays, blue birds, woodpeckers and countless other birds; too many to name. I’ve seen a family of raccoon’s make this tree a home, along with hundreds of families of squirrels. Bears have climbed it to eat the pears. Others just wait until they drop, including ground hogs, coyotes, bunnies, bees, our dogs, and our children. Every springtime I am grateful for its beautiful white blossoms! I hope that you are also treating the trees in your life with the respect and the awe that they deserve. Happy Earth Day!
