Day 112 - April 22, 2010



A couple of weeks ago, we decided to move an elm tree that was growing in a rather odd place in our backyard, to the front, where it would provide shade by the driveway. When our neighbors moved in, they had a tree that was in their yard that provided shade, but they decided to cut it down. I was rather upset, as our tailgates became rather hot without the shade. So we moved the elm tree to the front, but on our side of the property line. We were a little nervous because it was a tough move, and we thought the tree might not make it. Slowly but surely though, the buds and the leaves are sprouting, and it looks like it might be ok! I sure hope it is, because I've grown a bit attached to it!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 27 - January 27, 2010



Every so often, when the clouds and the sky and the timing is just right, when the sun sets, my neighbor's birch trees look like they are on fire. Today happened to be one of those days! I was inside getting a few things done, and I glance out and see this! It's just need to see these normally white bare trees just light up in an orangey glow. It only lasts for maybe 5 to 10 minutes max, so I hustled to get my camera and snap this shot before it went away. They've since gone back to plain ol' boring white...

Until Tomorrow,
