Personal note: There's a fine old oak tree down at the corner as we turn off Pitman Place on to Dickerson when we're leaving Mount Tabor, NJ. Liza has been drawn to it for some time for its survival rooted as it is in an oasis of soil surrounded by tarmac, and for its prolific production of acorns. This is the first of a series intended to document its progress from the end of winter into autumn. April 16, 2018
