Oh Jill, you made me cry this morning. My family had a tree like that on the way to my grandparent’s house in Park Rapids - a wee mangled and mishaped, we called it “The Duck Tree”. And when I spied it as a child, I knew we were close to my favorite place in the world.

As a mother, I’d point it out to my kids, and — years after my grandparents passed, I pointed it out to my grands, sharing the story and the tree with them.

I’m headed to MN I a few weeks. I hope The Duck Tree is still standing ❤️

Thanks, Jill.
