Belated Earth Day







We had a late celebration of Earth Day by planting our first trees in our yard. The sprinklers went in this week and we were finally ready to put some fruit trees in. We ended up putting 2 peach trees in (plus one for our neighbors), and a plum tree, apricot tree and nectarine tree. Of course it was record-breaking heat this weekend (in the nineties), so we just hope our little trees make it through okay. We're watering them a lot and hoping for good things to happen and can't wait for some delicious fruit in about 3-5 years! The girls each adopted a tree, so Kaitlyn is in charge of the peach trees, Ashley is taking good care of the plum and Lauren loves giving her apricot tree lots of hugs.
