Today's photo shows my tallest palm tree that is the only one to have survived the many elements that have come its way since Mike planted it in 1986, on the one year anniversary of our having moved in. He got it and another from a load of Washitonians brought up from South Padre that he ordered for a property he maintained and got paid for the job with those palms. The other one was planted on the east side of the house and we lost it during the freeze of 2021. Somehow this huge one out back unprotected has survived. The sotols are around it and under the big tree in back are the brittany spaniels who Mike buried there under his tree stand (archery).
