Tree Hunting

 

Our taxes were a bit more complicated this year since we both cashed in our retirement funds so The Mister went across town to have his looked at by H&R Block the other day. On the way home he stopped at Walmart and noticed they had trees. We went back over yesterday and loaded up the car. I got two more dogwoods and another red Maple. They were all bigger and healthier than the ones I ordered online and were a third of the price. That makes 18 new trees so far. Six more to go. I thought this would be a terrible thing but I'm actually having fun with it. Ask me again when it's 90 degrees with 90% humidity though. 

Trees weren't the only things that caught my attention. I've been meaning to buy another rose to go with the pink one that I planted last year. 

It was a tough decision but I settled on this one.

What was really hard was walking away from all the annuals. I told myself that I've got enough to deal with this year what with keeping all these newly planted trees alive. The pretty stuff will have to wait until next year.
