"The Tree"












Sometimes a few of our favorite places or things cause others to scratch their heads in bewilderment. Nevertheless, Manassas National Battlefield (Bull Run) has been a favorite haunt as has a lonely dogwood tree that stands on the grounds and which has suffered over recent years with withering branches and fewer and fewer blooms. Basically left ignored by the Park Service in recent years the service has now made an effort to help the tree. We will see in time but the tree has been a friend and has been a quick visit on many occasions, either alone or with other friends. When Spring finally arrives we'll see if blossoms are more plentiful and the tree is any more healthy. The visits will continue.
