My House in the sky

My dad and I made a house on the top branch of a

tree in my very own backyard. I sit up there all year

round. In spring buds appear and soon flowers bloom.

Birds sing there in Summer. In the fall crab apples fall

off. I listen leafs rustle in the wind. Winter snowstorms

make it look pretty. We nailed boards up the trees trunk

for climbing.
