Plant 2 trees. Done and done.
(Check the whole 101 in 1001 here.)
Yep that's right, Uncle Mark, we finally used that gift certificate to Brady Nursery.
We bought a lovely tree. Its nice and big and was really beautiful before it rode home in the trailer at 70 miles an hour on the world's windiest day.
But here it is.
It had so many lovely white blooms. Oh well, next year we can enjoy that.
Thankfully, we have some nice friends who will help you dig a hole when you need it.
Seriously, digging in Kansas soil is a tough job. One time my dad and Ryan made me sit on a gas powered post hole digger to improve its digging ability in the clay. Well, let's just say it didn't end well. Especially when my mom saw what was going on. Pretty sure, "mom instinct" kicked in despite the fact that I was 25. :)
Gotta love that she still wants me to "be careful."
And here are both trees to complete No. 48.
