Happy Earth Day everyone! Today marks our sixth anniversary since we moved in.

Normally we buy a tree and plant it for Earth Day and to celebrate our house anniversary but to be honest we’ve been very busy. After running back from an appointment I just felt like sitting on the porch and writing. We’ll get a new tree here soon enough but for now I’m taking the rest of the day off.

I walked around the yard and took some photos to share. I had noticed a patch of green in the north meadow, as I pulled the car out of the driveway. So I went back there and noticed that along the path to the bees, there was a 2-3′ pine tree. This is one of the trees I planted years ago when we first moved in.

It’s a beautiful day, the sun is out and the birds are chirping. A great day to enjoy the house and all the hard work we put in to live here.

Our master plan for the landscape. We’ve been slowly planting things for six years now.

The septic field is cut. Just need to clean some branches up and mow a bit more

This is the pine tree in the north meadow that is now about 2-3′ tall. I planted it as a sapling.

You can see three of our Christas trees, two in the foreground right and one way in the distance center.

Daisy is enjoying some time on the screen porch.

Every spring we like to go around and see what’s getting ready to sprout, or leaf

Our wild ramps we planted last year survived summer and winter. They’re looking good.

These woods are next to our house on land that may go up for sale. I’m hoping they don’t cut down all of these trees.

This leaning tree and the one laying down in the foreground fell down last year out by the septic field
