More Trees to Hug

It seems the theme of trees is running through my weekend. John & I came across a great tree sale so we got 4 Maple trees, 2 Pear trees and 2 Azalia bushes for our yard.

Sunday morning in church, Pastor Amy talked about 3 trees - the one in their backyard that their neighbor cut down stirring up feelings of revenge, the Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, and tree where Jesus died - His way to counter revenge. Then, this afternoon, Edward & Maria were carrying on an animated discussion about a piece they are doing in Orchestra called "The Creaking Tree." You should hear the sounds the violins make! Maybe I shouldn't wish that on you. Supposedly, the cellos make quite a sound too but Edward hasn't played it for me yet. Good thing trees are mostly pretty quiet.
