EDM #247 Draw Something Creepy

Ink drawing of a bare tree
When my children were young we hung a tire swing in the backyard from this tree. Alethea loved to spin and would wind the swing and let it go, spinning madly. She was startled when she saw a young girl watching her and by the time she managed to stop, the girl was gone.

  2. Oh my, I LOVE this tree. I am in awe because I simply cannot draw them. Mine look like lollipops or I get lost in the details.

    Spooky story indeed. Was your daughter frightened?
