Erik thought his hands and nose would freeze off as he planted the four-foot peach tree today. It had to be done. The mail carrier delivered it, we opened it, and the instructions read: "Plant me immediately!" Put out of your mind that today was a downpour and 36 degrees, it was prime peach tree planting weather.

I'm so jazzed to get these projects going! Thanks, Mom and Dad, for cleaning up the weed problem in the yard while you were here. Wanna come help with my front porch dream?
