If I Won
Every now and then I entertain myself by imagining what I would do if I won a big lottery jackpot. So not going to happen because I only play about once a year. Usually, I try to be realistic. I mean, it's a fantasy, but there are limits. I've finally decided on my ultimate fantasy. I want to grow a tree park. I'm sure there's some fancy Latin term for what I'm talking about, but I don't know what it is.
What I want to do is buy a great big farm somewhere and plant hundreds of trees on it. All kinds of trees. Individually and in little clusters, maybe some more formal shaded walkway type plantings. Maybe have a lake surrounded by cherry trees. Then people could use it like a regular park, having picnics and playing horseshoes, plus they could see what all kinds of trees look like when they're mature, not just a couple of twigs in a home improvement warehouse or a picture in a catalog. I know it might be 50 or 100 years before some of the trees really mature. If I won the lottery I could afford to do nothing except sit around and watch trees grow.
