When we cleared our property to build, we had to remove most of the trees because they were in the way of construction or turned out to be dead.
This spring and early summer, we did a lot of tree shopping. We picked out an ornamental cherry, apple, oak and spruce tree to plant in our newly-landscaped yard.
Each of the kids helped to dig the hole and plant his or her special tree,
in it’s specially chosen location.
Now a month or so later,
we are greatly enjoying watching these little trees continue to grow!
