One day a large storm took down the old walnut tree. Neighbors knew it well. They loved its gnarled appearance.
Later the county removed most of the tree but left the stump to decay naturally.
The photo above was pinned to the stump so all could say Goodbye.
Lots of time has passed and recently neighborhood children built a fort with sticks, digging out the under growth and creating an entrance.
A neighborhood artist left an offering inside. I hope they find the leaf.
My leaf pins can also be found on Etsy HERE.
