Yay! I love planting trees!! We went to Menards.... "Save big money at Menards!" and looked for some new trees. As soon as I saw a small weeping willow tree, I HAD to have it. Mike doesn't like weeping willows but I begged and pleaded and begged some more until he caved in. I was going for the front yard but the only way I got this worked out was to commit my new willow tree to the back yard.
I had to have this tree! When I was a kid growing up in the country we had this awesome weeping willow tree... I used to tie my horses to this tree! My brothers and I used to climb this tree! When I was a kid, I thought it was the most awesome tree in the world. And now I have one of my own! I love it! Right now it looks a little bit like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree but I have faith! It's going to be beautiful!!

| Mike said "hold the shovel and pretend you dug the hole!" ha ha! |
Mike picked out his own tree. It was a maple that turns red in the fall. He wanted it for a shade tree for the goats and the dogs.. It's going to be a few years before we get any shade out of this new tree but I thought it was a nice idea...

| Ground hard? |
 |
| Not much shade yet! |
 |
| The ladies say "Ah! Scary! Let's get out of here!" |
Someday the ladies will appreciate the shade... Mike just said a while ago... "I can't believe you talked me into a dirty weeping willow tree." :-) Mark my words! Someday my weeping willow will be beautiful!! :-)
