Sepia Leaves Janet Kuypers 9/18/17 Never before in my life have I needed to water a tree. But here I am, bringing buckets of water out every couple of days so my “mighty oak” will be a healthy tree, filled with colorful leaves at the changing seasons. Granted, my “mighty oak” is about three feet tall, it was the only “tree” on the property we bought, but okay, I’ll water it. And maybe when no one else’s tree leaves transform through vibrant colors for a month before Autumn turns to Winter in this semi-arid town, maybe then I can smile at my three foot tall “mighty oak”, the only tree I’ve got, as I reach down to touch the golden and sepia leaves at the top of my tree.
