There are sooo many trees that I love. These were in Indiana, but I also grew to love trees in Arizona and then in California too. These I will save for another post on another day.

in arizona we had a palo verde tree- it left thorns in the grass....ouch!
of all of those that you mentioned from Indiana, the
Blue spruce at Aunt Doreen and Uncle David's house, is the one that stands out in my young mind.
That palo verde tree was messy and THORny! (I have pictures of us cutting, I mean Chain sawing that thing to the ground. and hauling it away.)
from a distance---it's yellow flowers are nice.
I loved the Palo Verde tree. I know the thorns were shocking, but that's what moving to the west was all about. Being tuff.
(It was a lot of work)
