Taa Daa!
This is my newest place to hang out -- in the front-yard tree!! One of the worst things when we moved (at the time I was six) was that we had to leave our old mulberry tree behind. Ahhhh, that was one of the greatest climbing trees! we had to make a rope ladder to get up to it, but once you were up, since the branches were all strong and big, you could venture all over the place. It was perfect in the summer (when it gets 100+ degrees) because the giant leaves would shade EVERYWHERE.
Of course, being a mulberry tree, it was horrid in the spring time because they are really really bad allergy trees. But aside from that, it was great!
After we moved to a newer neighborhood, I was disappointed because with newer neighborhoods, there comes younger trees. So when we got a little Sissu (neat name for a tree, huh?) tree I was pretty impatient in waiting until it could be big enough to climb.
Well the day has come!
The tree has a couple little window-like spots that look out at the rest of the neighbor hood. And it's very hard to see that anyone is up there -- so now I can plot a little water balloon revenge...
It's still not very big, and can only hold one or two people in its branches, but I love my little Sissu hideout!
Keep leafy!
