peppertree

When I was a child we had a huge peppertree in the back yard with a canopy that spanned at least 40 feet. Each summer my brother, David, and I would build a new treehouse. When we had a "solid" floor and a couple of walls our parents would allow us to sleep in our creation. What fun! Now in both my neighborhood and my city the pepper tree is a major landscaping tree. I am reminded daily of my funfilled summers in construction. Today the tree became my scribble inspiration. Today is David's birthday.
