Our 1st home improvement


When we bought our house, we were told by a very close family friend that we should plant a tree once we move in to really make the home ours. Last weekend we finally got around to making it over to Home Depot to check out the trees. The plan was to just
buy 1 tree, but as we were looking at the trees and imagining the tree in our backyard, we got so excited we left with 3 trees! Once we got home, we immediately got to work and started planting the trees. The first one we planted was a Red Oak. The other 2 trees are Ranger Peach trees. They are taller than the oak tree right now. We can't wait until we are able to eat peaches off of OUR trees! It was very interesting to plant these trees. While growing up, I always hated to go out and "dig around in dirt." Now that it is our dirt, I really don't mind. In fact, once we started I didn't want to stop. I now want to start a little vegetable garden in our backyard, and I can't wait for Spring time to get here to that we can start working on some more flower beds! Unfortunately, we have to make in through the rest of winter...

  1. This so warms our hearts. See gardening is FUN. Just be careful, going to the nursery is like going to buy groceries on an empty stomach! Love you mom and dad ashmore
