The Jessica Tree

When I was in junior high, I went to an Earth Day event where a local Christmas tree farm handed out seedlings, which were nothing more than a root ball and one single spruce limb. I planted it against my parents' house not thinking it'd make it, but it loved the location and began to take off. A few years later, my dad transplanted it into the middle of the yard and that is where it stands today. As a reference to size, the white picket fences are approximately 6ft. This week's blizzard like conditions in Michigan really make the tree look spectacular.
