<The mystery of Mahogany Tree>

4/23/2010 In front of our Patio, Plantation
The tree turns color to yellow
and the yellow leaves just falling and falling
make a pile on the ground

4/26/2010 While the old yellow leaves fall,
 tiny young leaves are waiting up there

4/26/2010  Tree is now full of new young leaves

4/27/2010 And the tiny leaves getting bigger and bigger

4/30/2010 and getting greener and greener

4/30/2010  Whole tree is now covered with green leaves.
Check the date. This whole process took only a week!!
