Impressive
"I made my living as a divorce lawyer"😅
Great tree idea. Janet is pretty.
I do not celebrate the holidays. It's against my religion. Oh and I have no religion. 😈👍
Beautiful gesture, indeed. How gorgeous is that! I believe her father is smiling down from above. The proposals are an added gift. Thank you for this story of love. Just wondering if the city is now contributing towards the cost of this glorious show? I’m certain it must be drawing some income from tourists.
tree of hope!! the location adds to the mystery!! i am getting all kinds of ideas for the GIANT tree in my yard lol
Awww…I needed this story today. What a beautiful stunning tree!
P.S. I didn't know pecans grew on trees that can go up to 60 ft. tall. Nature is amazing!
There is a similarly lit tree beside I35 in Rice County, MN near Northfield.
Awe shame about her dad but, yes you know he sees it from heaven. Beautiful sight as it reminds you of a hint of God's glory .

Not everyone will enter the kingdom of the oval office of the White House in Washington DC.

I love the tree, but most of all, I love Barbara's attitude and generosity.
Apparently, there's not much to do in Texas.
Pretty cool.
Beautiful
That Tree is absolutely beautiful!
May your Dad RIP 🪴
What a cool lady
There’s one exactly like it in Minnesota right off of 35 near owatonna.

Beautiful!! My aunt had a pecan tree. ❤
