CABBIE ESQ's PAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Todd strolled along the perimeter of his property at that, keeping a watch on the cherry tree. It was the focal point of the back grassy garden, the center of all that greenery in the spring and summer, even winter and fall. Always there, steady and sure. Sometimes at night, he'd stand in the darkened window of his bedroom and watch the leaves shudder and settle with evening mist, thinking of each part of the tree, wondering what part needed the most nutrients, wondering ... about the special soil that fed it.
