My wife thinks I’m a little bit crazy because of the love I have for trees.  I love pruning and shaping trees.  Like humans, I think they too need tender loving care.  Any tree I come across, I instantly start pruning it in my mind and I sometimes think to myself that maybe I’m in the wrong business.  As I leave my house everyday, I’m greeted by the 30-foot Arizona Ash I planted in my front yard and it reminds me of my good friend, Mrs. Ella Mae Johnson, who went to be with the Lord some 10 or 15 years ago.
