When you ask most people where their favorite place in the world, most give an answer of somewhere exotic or far off. My most favorite place is under my parents maple tree in their back yard.
From the first time I saw our house I loves it, but it lacked a big tree in the yard! The house sits on 3 acres of grass that was once a horse pasture so the ground is really fertile except for a few bald spots where the rain washed away the yard. I guess after a year or hinting Scott decided to plant 2 trees for us to watch grow as the years pass. Next to the books Nora gave me for Christmas a few years back, this is just about my favorite present ever.
We are now proud owners of a maple & oak tree! Although the ground is fertile, it is also hard as a rock. Scott wasn't sure he was going to be able to break through enough, but after much perseverance and a lot of encouragement he did it!
I can't wait to watch these grow into tall strong trees. The memories we'll make with these pillars of strength in the background will be priceless.
