Hooray for Trees and Grass!

Today we went to a local landscaping place because they had 1/2 off all of their current trees, shrubs, etc. to make room for the new things coming in later in the week. They also had free ash trees. When we got there, one of our neighbors was there with their truck and trailer and offered to take home for us anything we bought. What a blessing that was! We came home with 6 trees and a magnolia bush/tree. Our neighbor not only transported it for us, he also came over and planted them for us, with my help, and helped us get some grass seed planted as well. Hooray! At least part of my yard will not be weeds this year and full of sand burrs (at least I hope). This week we are supposed to get a fair amount of rain so I should be able to get a good start on the grass and trees taking root and growing. I know it sounds goofy to be so excited about this but if you knew what our yard was like you would understand why I am so excited! Now I can't wait to start planting and seeing some color come into our yard. I am so ready for warmer weather and the end of the school year.
