Snakes in the Trees


We have two wonderful Honey Locust trees in the front yard.  They were planted probably 20 years ago. When they were young, one of the trees looked dead.  So Mike decided to cut it down, even though I felt like it was going to be okay.  It grew back and is now as tall at the other.  The problem is, when it came back, it came back as either a male or female - whichever one grows large seed pods.  So every fall, we have hundreds of these that drop to the ground, and have to be picked up! (From that tree only, of course.)
