So Simon and I have begun our long, slow journey to beautify our backyard.
This is before.....
After.....
Step #1 we decided we wanted to plant a few trees around the edge of the fence to bring in some green.
That quickly turned to 4o trees!
We decided... mostly based on cost, that Simon and I would plant the trees ourselves. The man that delivered the trees, smirked when Simon told him we would be doing it all ourselves. I think he laughed as he drove away.
Ten planted, only another 30 to go....
When I say "we" planted 40 trees, Simon definitely had the hardest part. Digging 40 big holes in the hard clay ground.
And of course, yard work in rainbows.
It took 3 days to plant all the trees and it makes such a difference to the yard. But, looking beyond that, Simon and I would like Earth Day to know that we are done for the next 40 years. We planted our trees and want to get recognition that we helped "Mother Earth".
*By the way, Carrie did do her share of yard work, however Simon was too dirty to take any pictures.
