A fire burned the house that was on this property and killed Otis. This side of the tree is blackened and seemingly dead but the other side of the tree lives. Now moss is growing on the blackened side. Grape vines grow up the tree and were full of grapes in the summer. A cat named Odie survived the fire and comes over to visit where his home once was. This is where we now live.
