When it was pink in spring it was beautiful.

We sold the old house to my son. I still enjoyed looking at the redbud tree.
But the recent tornado snapped that tree at the base and it is no more.

It was a lot of work chopping it up and hauling it away.
I think perhaps my son needs a new redbud tree for his birthday.
