Ringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey

a nice, last minute, spur of the moment, road-trip surprise.....





it pays to fly by the seat of your pants every once in awhile - something that i hardly ever do....

Trees II

To those who have been on the fence on whether to get a real tree or not, I vote do it. It wasn't near the mess that I thought it would be. It's true, you do have to water every day. Needles do fall but are easily swept up (on hardwood that is). It may be difficult getting in and out of your house (if you don't have french doors).


But, is smells refreshing and looks beautiful. We will do it again!

Trees

Did you know that you should plant trees in the months that have a "R"? We sure didn't.

Thanks to a neighbor, we learned that we should plant our trees in January, February, March, April, September, October, November, or December. We chose November, a weekend when Perk-a-lawn was having a 30% off sale on shade trees. Lucky for us, this same neighbor has a very nice tractor he was willing to loan us for the afternoon.
