Arbor Day

Today is Arbor Day and I have to say it is a great day. I LOVE trees. I'm not a tree hugger, although I wouldn't mind hugging one. I didn't know exactly how many trees we have so I went out and counted, and this is the way my yard stacks up: 24 trees
9 Aspen
2 apple
1 pear
1 peach
1 cherry
4 flowering plums
1 pine
1 maple
1 genola maple
1 pussy willow
1 arborvitae
1 cypress pom-pom
I won't photograph them all but here is a sampling: The Genola Maple

The pine

2 of the quakies


I just threw this is because it's so pretty but not mine...it belongs to Shon and Kee

Flowering plum

My Dr. Seuss looking cypress pom-pom tree

My peach tree
I'm sure my tree owning will not end here. I would love a few more if I can find the right spot to put them. So for this Friday, plant and love a tree. Help out Mother Earth produce shade and good oxygen for us all.
