Traveling

Ok, today I ordered a large Sugar Maple for the front lawn. We have to dig the hole before they deliver it. We are currently arguing, erm, discussing, exactly where the hole should go.

I recently planted three dwarf junipers in the rock garden. (Juniperus procumbens 'Nana'). Of course now that the rock garden is set up as a full sun area, we're planting a tree that will eventually produce lots of shade. Figures.



Anyway, we're off to Grand Rapids for the weekend. We plan on touring the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Will post pictures soon, hopefully.

It all seems a bit frivolous in the shadow of what is going on after hurricane Katrina. I had always wanted to visit the Big Easy. What utter devastation. I pray somehow, in some way, something good will happen to the survivors to make up for what they're living through now. There, but for the grace of God, go all of us. I feel humbled, and grateful for the simplest things.
