Lone Tree

I know Bates Road pretty well by now having driven it through all the seasons of many years but today I noticed something new. It caught my eye so hard I came to a stop in the middle of the road and backed up to it.

The people behind me were furious as they all had to follow suite to avoid getting run over. Oh, wait a minute, this is one car every five minutes Bates Road! :-)

What I noticed was one lone tree standing in the middle of a huge crop field. I’m not sure what they’re growing there this year, barley or potatoes probably, but why would they leave one tree standing? Maybe it’s where those two eagles live…

  1. Maybe it’s a spot of shade for the ‘tater planters and diggers.
    Hey, I read that a town over near Jackson Hole was being evacuated due to possible landslides. It made the Chronicle. I’m going to send an interesting article about Malaysia 370. Look in your email.

  2. Yea, we have our own potential slide disaster brewing. Hopefully it holds up. Checking that article…

    btw: The only humans involved in that planting and picking process are the heavy equipment operators and they have built in shade :-)
