Clifford's Tree

This scrappy little oak is almost 10 years old and that's because Clifford is 10 years old today. It's been through a lot. Some of the worst heat, drought and cold. Then there was the year the deer nearly rubbed it to a toothpick.  A very memorable birth, was Clifford's. Three mid-wives, the handsome father Paul and the beautiful mother Suz. Of course the big sister Retta down the street waiting for her little brother, who arrived around 10pm at close to 10 pounds. Yup, Clifford was born in this house - maybe only 20 or 30 feet from where this tree stands now. Happy Birthday, Clifford!!!
