Arbor Day April 29th PLANT A TREE!



RoomMates RMK1439SLM Scroll Tree Peel & Stick Wall Decal MegaPackThe Life & Love of TreesThe last Friday in April is ARBOR DAY!  You can get free trees to plant in your backyard or in your neighborhood!  Visit the Arbor Day Foundation, sign up and get 10 free trees!

I'm actually doin' a bit of Johnny Appleseed planting in a public green space!  Shhhhh.....be very very quiet..... it is a secret!  I camouflage myself in an official looking bright orange and yellow safety jacket, and come prepared with chicken-wire and orange flagging tape, so they look like the city put them in (hee hee) and so the fruit trees don't get run over by the mower!
