Trees

<idle musing>
Over the weekend we planted some trees, 33 to be exact. Everywhere we live, we try to plant trees, or at least lilac bushes. I can't imagine living where there aren't trees. We planted 21 white pines as a windbreak on the north side of the house, 7 fruit trees, one red maple, two red bud trees, and two forsythia.

I am looking forward to the fruit trees bearing in a few years. There are 3 apple, two pear, and one each of plum and peach. Good jam, canned fruit, and apple sauce for the winter. Yum.

I read somewhere, years ago, a quote attributed to Martin Luther, although I never have found out from whence it came: “Even if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree.”

Sounds good to me!
