Memorial

Monday my Aunt and I bought a native encina (holm oak) at a local nursery to be planted in memory of my cousin Drew.

It's rained these past few days and so we took advantage of a break in the storm and the soft ground--very auspicious--and planted it today. We went outside town to where Angelines and I were married because it's a beautiful location, looking out over the olive fields and La Roda in the distance. Up on the hill next to the chapel we planted Drew's tree.

May it grow strong, straight and tall.
