Our Tree in Autumn

Roll your mouse over the image to see the smoke from the terrible forest fire near our town.

Our tree this year is a "Prunus Cerasifera" or Purpleleaf Plum tree. It does not produce fruit. It has very dark burgandy leaves. The tree gives us shade on hot days and is a nice, quiet place to read in the early afternoon. It is a happy place for many.

We chose this tree because it is special to our school. It is a memorial tree planted in memory of a student who passed away a few years ago. She was very ill most of her life and one day just couldn't breathe any more. Everyone misses her but we know she is safe and happy now. Her tree is a reminder of the good times she had at our school.

Recently, there was a terrible forest fire very near our school, about 10 miles away. The smoke from the fire made it difficult to see as well as breathe. We had many days of indoor recesses because of the smoke. It took several weeks to put the fire out. There was even a neighborhood nearby that had to evacuate! In the end our school and our tree were safe because of the awesome firefighters we have in our forested, foothill town.
