Oscar’s Tree planted in 2004
I don’t seem to be able to link back to this post, so I’m re-posting it.
Several years ago, we befriended a beautiful big black and white cat named Oscar who lived at the end of our street. Our friendship with Oscar grew over a period of years.
We always brought him a treat when we walked by, one treat on our way to our walk, and another treat for our way back home. He always waited for us. During his ast summer, we moved up to mostly seafood, his favorite - usually 2 shrimp each night.
Oscar died in the spring of 2004 and we were really very sad. During these nightly visits, we became friendly with “Oscar’s family” and unbeknownst to us, they referred to us as “Oscar,s people”.
Well, shortly after Oscar’s death, Oscar’s parents came by our house and planted a beautiful Redbud tree in our yard. (Nancy), They got the tree for us through their business, and then they came down tonight with all this huge tree planting equipment, and planted it for us.
We have named the tree, “Oscar’s Tree”. Funny, because of that friendly cat, we’ve met some very nice people, and now we have a tree in our yard - and all because of Oscar.
And it gets more beautiful every year.
