When I think about Arbor Day it makes me think of a tree I planted when I was 3 years old. It was as tall as me back then now it is about four feet taller than me.
Every morning when I came down the stairs I would look out a window and I would see this tree I planted long ago. When I was little I used to believe that every time I looked out the window that the tree would grow.
Over the years I've been looking at tall the tree has grown. Every time I see I remember the day I planted it.
