Labor Day

To celebrate Labor Day this year we labored in our front yard. We removed the small maple and replaced it with the bigger fuller one I got for my birthday. We also planted the smaller red bark maple in the front of our house. After taking a break and buying some new pots at Home Depot we put up Ava's tree swing. We put her in it and she took it for a test drive. She didn't seem super excited, but was not unhappy either. She gave us a few smiles and seemed content.

Rich digging out the old maple to make room for our new bigger, fuller, and more beautiful maple. I still like our old maple, but it really didn't work well in the space. It found a new home in the back yard next to our water garden.

Me next to my beautiful birthday present. I smile everytime I come home and see my two new trees.

Ava and Luca enjoy the shade of our tree while we worked.Ava unsure what she thinks about the swing.
Ava enjoyed kicking her dad in the head while swinging.
