That lives behind my house – just on the other side of the fence. I love her. Ironically, in my mind I call her “the Spider tree.” I don’t exactly know why. But she’s gorgeous. And she makes me happy. Like when I look over and see her autumn leaves in the late slanted afternoon sun, I think how amazing it is to see all those colors glowing, glowing, and I know that little tree is doing her very best to make her small spot of the world so much the more beautiful.
And she’s doing a great job.
That is a Sumac! They’re not native to Utah but they do tend to sprout up where other things aren’t planted.
