Then you just have a lot of trees to mow around!!!!


When we were first married we moved a trailer house out to the country and we had to start a yard....grass, trees, and everything. Glen had dug up a pin oak tree that he was so proud of and planted it in the front yard and he had been babying it.

Well.....his Mom and Dad had bought a new Grasshopper lawn mower.....one that you drive with handles instead of a steering wheel........you push forward to go forward......pull back to go backward........pull on one handle or the other to turn right or left. It's very easy to learn and they cut really close to things.

One day I was mowing the yard and I came up to the pin oak tree which was planted near a slope. I started rolling down the slope......got confused.....and pushed and pulled.....pushed and pulled the handles!!! Yep.....next thing I knew I had a pin oak tree shoot out the side of the lawn mower!!!!! I could have died!!! Thank heavens Glen wasn't very upset!! The funny thing is that the tree lived and is still growning at our old home place!!!!

Way to go Diana...lol. Ricky brought home a tree from school, not sure what kind it was. We got it planted and Penny thought it was time to play fetch and grabbed that little tree and took off running. We got the tree back and replanted. Again she took off with the tree. Poor little tree looked horrible but I found a small wire fence in the shed, replanted the tree, put the wire fence around it and it has been growing beautifully.

I was hoping if we planted enough trees we could just mow rows between the trees...guess I need to rethink my plan.

One of my kids brought home a tree from school too.......that was when we had a new lab puppy and she never pulled it out of the ground but she chewed on it all the time. The tree's still there but I sure didn't think that it would ever make it!!!! Too bad that it's at our old house.

We also have an oak tree that Amy planted when she was really little.......again, Glen babied it and it grew. I wish that I had both of them up here now instead of at our old house!!! I'm very sentimental!!!!!

Gayle love the backyard photos, and you look so cute on your John Deere . I know that you will enjoy planting and I love your swing. I have about 3/4 of an acre and sorry girls I am not one who mows and plants. I have started a few pots of herbs so hopefully I don't kill them this year. Sorry to say the only place I farm is on farmville..
