My House in the sky

My dad and I made a house on the top branch of a
tree in my very own backyard. I sit up there all year
round. In spring buds appear and soon flowers bloom.
Birds sing there in Summer. In the fall crab apples fall
off. I listen leafs rustle in the wind. Winter snowstorms
make it look pretty. We nailed boards up the trees trunk
