The Tree of Life In my backyard stands a grand pecan tree. The tree is estimated to be 200-250 years old. It is rooted very deep into the ground and has roots going out into the yard eight to ten feet long. This tree is about ten feet around at the base and splits off four ways as it breaks into a perfect summer or fall day hangout. The tree has huge twelve to fifteen inch limbs that stick out thirty to forty feet and offer the best shade on a hot summer day. I like to stop underneath it and just sit there when I am mowing to feel the cool breeze under that huge canopy and talk to God. It has a rope swing, a climbing ladder and limbs that can take you way up in the air. Below it hangs a nice hammock to lie in and chill out and enjoy the view at night. What I am describing is not made up, it really is that cool of a tree and place to hang out. I loved climbing trees as a child and wish I would have had this one when I was younger. I dare not swing on it now or try to climb.
