White Birch Trees- Northern Michigan
Postmarked Sept. 3, 1914
Have you ever had that? You intended to do something on Sunday, and suddenly it was Wednesday? I have that nearly every week. It seems as if time flew by as quickly in 1914 as it does in 2009.
I like the picture on this postcard. I always appreciate the beauty a White Birch tree. Whether in a forest or in someone’s lawn, the White Birch always stands out.
I read that Native Americans often used white birch when building their canoes and also used the bark in the construction of their wigwams. I think using the white birch bark would make a rather attractive wigwam.
Hmm..I may have to consider siding my house with it! Well, maybe not. It would probably be pretty high maintenance.
So, take time to enjoy a Michigan lake, and while you are out and about, try to spot a few White Birches.
