| cherry blossoms |
When we first moved into the property we decided to grow some fruit trees... the hard way. We knew nothing about grafting or cross-pollinating, or trees in multiple genders; we only knew that you could order fruit trees and that if you were lucky, they wouldn't die with the first snow. Naturally I was quite excited when my wife informed me that the fruit trees had arrived.
I looked around, but all I saw was a package of sticks. Sticks? Yep, this was apparently how fruit trees are grown... one stick at a time. Just drop them into some water and wait... and wait. Fast forward by six years and now we have a tree worthy to be planted. The tree that went into the ground today is some kind of black cherry. Pictures from the planting ceremony follow:

| Just look at that energy! |
 |
| The hole should be about this wide... |
 |
| OK..., now it's your turn |
 |
| Hooray! The hole is deep enough! |
