Douglas Anders: seeingToledoWell, at least it's home(Untitled)- June 19, 2004 When we bought our house six year ago, it was really the trees that we bought. We had chosen an urban neighborhood with close set homes, and the trees were a buffer from our neighbors that made the property livable. We could have bought a larger, more updated or more attractive home, but we chose the small, unassuming WWI bungalow i part because of the trees.
