Saigon Sundays: Planting Trees

We were lucky when we bought our house that all the landscaping had already been done. This is rare when you purchase a new home, but something we have been so thankful for. That being said, it's pretty bare and we decided that we wanted to add a few bushes and trees. The house that I grew up in had two beautiful lilac bushes in it and I will always remember my mom having a vase of freshly cut lilacs on the kitchen table during the summer. So, when we were at home depot yesterday and I saw the lilac plants for sale, I knew exactly what I wanted to plant in our back yard. And by plant, I mean Jim planted while I read a book on the deck and took pictures. Of course, no chore would be complete without our little helper, Saigon.

I have never met another dog that is so "up in your business" at all times. He's always underfoot, checking out what we are working on. It's fascinating and amusing to us.

All done!
