The climbing tree

This is the tree Sarah first climbed at my house. It is covered with lovely blossoms right now and the finches are loving the feeder hanging on one of it's branches. Jakob and Topher like to climb this particular tree, also. They inspired Sarah to climb. Maybe this year Claire will be brave enough to attempt it. The branches are low and easily accessible. . . . every Magra needs a climbing tree, don't you think? While this one is lovely ~ we have another in the back that is daunting. There is a limb low enough to reach and pull down for climbing. So far, Jakob and Topher have climbed it, rode on it like a horse, and dropped down from it. I believe Sarah swung from it last year with a little help. Can't wait to see what the summer will bring. Higher and braver, I'm sure.
