April was the worst! So with the loosening of the "shelter in place" rules, the need to just go somewhere (ANYWHERE), and the fact we've been talking about adding a couple of trees to our property, Hubby and I set out with the plan of adding a little happiness our lives in the form of trees!
Armed with our masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer, we hopped into the truck and headed to the nursery. We knew exactly the type of trees we wanted, Canadian Chokecherry. Shortly after moving into our house we planted a Canadian Chokecherry in front of our house for eventual shade from the summer sun. It's provided us with a fragrant bloom almost every spring, a resting spot for many types birds, and lovely shade all summer. We didn't want a tree which would become massive and this really fits the need. The only downfall is it isn't a long lived tree. It has a lifespan of only thirty or forty years.
We quickly bought two lovely 8 foot trees and headed home. The "Royal We" once again came into play and in two afternoons we had the trees were planted.
We're looking forward to the years of shade they will provide in the future. What a great way to start May 2020!
