Bev and I both grew up in Southern Saskatchewan, so we did not see a lot of trees. When travelling, we came to love the birch. We owned two houses in Regina, and, at each, we considered, but never got around to, purchasing a weeping birch.
We bought our Manitoba property in the winter of 1996 without having seen any of it, except the house. We began to move in on April 26, 1996 and as spring unfolded, we found that God had provided a number of great surprises, including 100s and 100s of birch trees.
