Tree Inventory

"If I believed the world were to end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree today."

-Martin Luther

Thank you Matty P. for that quote, which brilliantly dovetails the recent faith discussions on the blog and this here topic, posted mainly for record-keeping purposes: listing the trees we've planted since we moved here. So with no further ado, here they are.

Spring 2005:
-A weeping willow (planted in front of the barn, a birthday gift to Jay from his parents)
-A young cherry (planted on the east side of the quonset building)
-A young plum (also planted on the east side of the quonset building)

Spring 2006:
-300 baby pine/spruces (planted as a windbreak in 1/2 acre of our hayfield directly to the north of our outbuildings)
-3 young cherries (planted on the south and east sides of the house, birthday gifts to Jay from his parents - a way to remind Jay of those famous cherry blossoms in Portland)
-Two apples (a Macintosh and a Honeycrisp planted down near the garden to create a bit of an orchard along with our other apple trees)
-A young mock orange (to be planted at the northeast corner of the house)
-A young oak (planting location still to be determined)
-Two pine seedlings (planted as future landmarks by the firestop at the top of the driveway, taken from Chris' cabin in honor of Ellis and Thelonious)

And I'm sure there will be more!

Love and a pasture filled with sunny dandilions to all-
