Description

When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun. The children in the house trailed the scent of wild trees to neighbouring lots. When the children grew up and moved away, their father, alone in the house, continued his battle against blowing seeds - until one day he, too, moved away.
