we planted this tree shortly after we moved to the farm, and it was doing so well. it had lived through at least 5 winters and always came back stronger each spring. but then this really windy storm comes blowing through and decided to take most of out little tree with it. as you can see though, there’s still one little branch that is so determined to make it through this rough ordeal. it’s getting all the water and nutrients that the whole tree was getting, so hopefully next spring it’ll come back again and give it another go.

the will to survive...
