The First of Many

Well, it's taken 18 months, but we did it. We planted our first tree. It's an Eastern Red Bud. It's only tree on the whole place, and we couldn't be more proud. We had to run quite a few sprinkler lines in order to get ready for plants and trees on this side of the yard. Thus, the long wait for greenery. Now that we have our 8 zones finally complete and timed, we'll be planting fools!
The newly planted red bud, Lexi, Allen and Addie. Kind of scrawny now but come spring it will look like this....

Ok. So it won't look exactly like this, but you get the idea.

It's my take on the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the thoughts and feelings, the mistakes and triumphs of this family as we bumble our way to eternity.
