And this one in the back. It's huge, and I love the way its droopy branches sway in the wind. It makes a great sound then too, even more so during a storm:
I forgot to take a picture of the flowering tree next to our bedroom window, but I love that one as well. I'm not crazy about the little pokey ones in the front yard (yes, "little pokey one" is the scientific name for those trees - Google it if you don't believe me), but I still like them because then I can say we have 11 trees instead of nine. ;)
We also have a well-established orange tree, that only continues to thrive under our care because it gets water from the run off from our washing machine. Otherwise, who knows?
But Brian has managed to keep our (his) little peach tree alive, and this year, there was even fruit the birds didn't eat:
First peach fit for human consumption!
Yum!So that's what I'm grateful for today. :)

That is something I really WANT! We don't have enough trees. . . like we are nine short of you. i wish we would have planted when we first moved in because now I don't want to make the effort. Although I don't think in this market we are leaving any time soon.
Yes, be very grateful for trees and for your awesome awesome yard! We have one small lime tree. That's it! I want a forest of trees, but alas, no dice!
I'm going to miss these posts - only 4 more to go. :(
How funny that our tree posts coincided. Oh, lovely trees. I'm intimidated by peach trees.
