    Only Andrew cares to show this single tree. Teddy Roosevelt Island needs some love. Merry Christmas Penguin 6:

      Needs cleaning. We go to our National cemetery here and clean the headstones of the veterans. You’re right! And the fountains, if they don’t clean those and get them up and running, you’re breeding mosquitoes! Water looked murky

      @ may be we should organize a meetup with Andrew in the Spring to help clean this National treasure.

      If anyone goes out there, they need to put a couple of Christmas ornaments on it just to make it an official Christmas tree.

    I occasionally go look at some trees I planted over the years, it gives me pleasure.
    ~~
    The Island is in need of some major cleaning/clearing of dead stuff, it would be so much more beautiful!
    Have a Merry Christmas Penguin and family.
    Cheers,

    You planted it. How cool. I remember McDonald's gave out trees one year about 30 years ago. That tree grew so big. Just like yours. My daughter was just about 4 or 5 , and we planted it in an apartment complex we lived in. We would go by and check on it for years thereafter.
