Magnolia Murder

I sell free range chicken and mushrooms.

To be a little more specific, I sell free range chicken and mushrooms under a magnolia tree.  At the farmer’s market in Covington, La to be exact.

It’s a small magnolia tree, but a tree nonetheless. I used to sell under a healthy, vibrant magnolia tree. Nowadays, because of some maniacal tree trimmer with a license to kill from the City of Covington; I sell under a mangled magnolia tree.

Here is the photographic evidence I took last weekend, and just noticed on my phone. I wish I had a before picture to show the difference, but I never thought I would need one, since there was no reason to believe, after years of uninhibited growth, that anything would happen to my wounded comrade.
