Relative Something

[John and Cyndie are currently on vacation in Iceland with our friends, Barb & Mike Wilkus. While we are gone, I am featuring the results of the big tree survey I did in August on our property.]

…

The third tree I measured is just down the trail a bit from the first two and I referenced it in my notes as “chicken compost” because we used to dump the chicken manure beside it.

It is another maple tree. There are five maples in total in my survey.

Measuring a circumference of 101 inches, this maple calculates to approximately 145 years old.

I wonder what it was like in Iceland when this tree first sprouted from the ground…
