We had a big ole Summer Rambo (or is it rainbow) apple tree, it had one low branch that was almost horizontal with the ground about 5’ up. I spent hours on that, it was my race horse, I won a lot of races on that branch. I also had a huge rope hanging from a much higher branch and it was terrifyingly amazing to climb up high in the tree and swing down on that rope.
There was also an Oxhart cherry tree, ate millions of cherries while sitting in that tree, most of them wormy.
A walnut tree but that wasn’t a good climber, branches were too high. There was a huge boxwood that was the size of a tree, that was good for hiding.
It was a big yard and full of fruit trees. I spent time in them all, often with my lunch in a bag or a book to read.
GQ, fun to remember stuff like that!
