There's a wild cherry tree growing 10 feet from our driveway. The first time I noticed it, it was 3 feet tall. I figured if I simply cut it to the ground, it would become a bush; it needed to be dug up by the roots. I never got around to it. Now, it's taller than our house, and its truck is as big around as my thigh, and it's gone long past digging up.
For years, I've said to The Husband, "We ought to cut that tree down before it tears up the driveway or falls on the house."
He'll say, "Yep."
And the tree still stands.
This morning, "the algorithm" fed me a video about making cough syrup out of wild cherry bark.
The Husband has a cold.
I think I'll make him some cough medicine.

Caution: Stripping cherry bark with a pocketknife can be hazardous to the thumb.
