Mystery of the Hickory

Tweet

About an acre from us (from the edge of our yard) is about an acre of trees.. or there was. We've been hearing them bulldoze and cut down trees for the last week or so. They started from the middle, so we haven't known what they were doing.. Someone said they were making it easier to get around the area with their tractors, as like us, it's along the road in the middle of farm fields. Today, however, I can see through our trees, that they have cut down all the trees! All that is left standing is the biggest one, a hickory still standing at the front corner of the field closest to us. I am dreading to hear that last tree fall.. And now all is silent.. they've gone away for lunch.. and there that lone tree stands.. I'm hoping they will leave it there! What are the odds, do you think? What do you think? Will they let it stay? (Is it good luck to leave one tree in a field?? I'm hoping so!)
