New Trees

Monday, November 2, 2015

We decided to plant some trees on our parking strip in front of our house. I wanted some trees that would be some good shade trees with some color to them. These are a variety of maple tree called Sunset Norwegian Maple. They are supposed to have a beautiful fall color. They are little dinky things right now though!

Unfortunately when we dug into the ground to plant them, we ran into sprinkler pipes so we had to dig up quite a bit of the ground to figure out where the pipes were and then move some of them. It ended up being quite a bit of work and DH ended up having to take a day off of work to finish it all. We also ended up having some cool, windy weather for the project! And in the end we somehow ended up with more dirt than we could figure out where to put it!!
