WE HAVE TREES! Finally!
This very well could be considered a perfect day. The sun was shining, it was so warm outside we didn't need jackets or shoes for that matter. Jake planted 4 October Glory Red Maples in my yard and I couldn't be happier. Who knew that trees and dirt and grass would be the highlight of my new house.
I was so excited for the trees. I went outside and measured and placed the them in the perfect spots exactly 16 feet apart. I asked Gracie to go get Jake to dig the holes and as he walked out he said something like this, "that is not where they are going, right? Aren't you going to plant them where the sprinklers are?" Needless to say, they were planted just where I had placed them.
Jake wasn't happy as he was digging the holes in the very rocky Herriman soil. I kept telling him how excited I was and made the mistake of asking him why he wasn't happy about the trees. I guess the fun part is not in the planting. I am sure he will LOVE and appreciate them in spring when they are in bloom.
It was snowing no less than 96 hours ago and today it felt like summer again. What a nice surprise. As much as I love fall, I am not looking forward to the snow.
