I wonder why I looked it up, something in reference to a song or poem but I can't remember what it was, something about the seeds? Oh dear, I wish I could remember.<br />I like the decorated tree.

Our yard is nearly two acres and already had many trees when we moved here in 1980 and then I planted trees that are in Hungarian poems so my children would know them, so we have Lindens, Acacia, Horse Chestnut, and a gingko because my mother in law remembered the one from her childhood home. And what treasures they all are.<br /><br />What a lovely idea to have a tree decorated for Christmas (I'm assuming) by many different people who each wished to contribute to this!
