+(Include your planning here, including your project milestone.
+
+To complete this project goal, I will first draw a base for the tree, made up
+of a trunk and branches. To simplify this, I will write a function which draws
+a branch, and call it to make many branches of different sizes and positions.
+
+I will write a function for drawing a leaf, which will change color based on the time.
+
+Lastly, I will write a function for the leaves to fall from the branches to the ground.
+
+My milestone will be having the static image complete.)
