River Birch..........


The river birch is a beautiful tree.  The bark is always a treat to see but the leaves are also great looking.  This photo tells a story though.  I left the ladder there as I need to get onto the garden shed roof and trim back the branch that is laying on the roof.  I have an apple tree branch on the other side that is doing the same thing.  After being on the roof to do the shingle job i just transferred the ladder to the next job.  The list doesn't seem to get shorter of things to do as the cupola needs to come down for major repairs.  I made it 14 years ago and it just needs to have some better wood on it to  replace rotting wood.
