(They're similar at each site, so I recommend the Burlington set.  They used the time well.)

It's never too early...

It's Tree Day ~ NOT

We were having 6 dead or ailing trees taken down today.  But then we realised that that would be a really bad idea during nesting season.  So we have put it off until September.  Fortunately our neighbor (who has a few trees in the project too) was willing to accept PhD*Son's expert opinion on the subject.  And fortunately the Arborist said it was no problem for him to reschedule.  Next week we're having a good size Eastern/Canadian Hemlock planted.

The photo above is unrelated to the project.  Just some nice trees of which I snapped a photo!

It's the Little Things...

Stone Walling

We're interested in putting in a stone wall so we can widen our driveway a little.  

I like the rounded stones best, but these are nice too.  

Happy Mother's Day! 💕
