Gordie's favorite trees at Blackhawk.

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree"

The symbol became widely known in civilian life in the 1970s. It was the central theme of the popular song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree", Written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown and recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn among many others, as the sign a released convict requested from his wife or lover, to indicate that she still wanted him and that he would therefore be welcome to return home. He would be able to see it from the bus driving by their house, and would stay on the bus in the absence of the ribbon. He turned out to be very welcome: there were a hundred yellow ribbons.

So maybe a Blackhawk Farms nymph tied them in the trees, she getting ready for the next season.....

This is the view from Corner 1 looking towards 3 and the new buildings. Trees are not all gone but it makes a difference.

Careful, Dave might claim this building too to harvest students...

[KTG]

Looks nice, the whole place should get the same siding/paint....

[Super Dave]

Long term, certainly.

[gpz11]

What, siding and such or you harvesting students?

Long term, certainly.

LOL! 

Siding and such.  I have to evaluate if I want to keep teaching schools every year.  Pay is non-existant, but it's fun.  I could actually do something valuable financially.
