Trees in my Backyard



Dear Readers,

I planted four trees in my back yard a few months ago. The one above is a Washington Navel orange tree.


This one is a Pink Eureka Lemon Tree.


This one is a bottle brush tree. It has pretty pink blossoms on it. This one won't produce any fruit, but it will provide our house with shade.
This one is a grapefruit tree. Actually, maybe this one is the orange tree and the one I thought was an orange tree is the grapefruit tree. I don't know. I guess I'll find out whenever they bear fruit.

I've been having fun working in my back yard. Sometimes it's frustrating, but all in all it's really nice to have a little piece of ground to call your own and dig around in and plant stuff in. It's healthy. My little bit of backyard work summons up in my soul the feeling of a spiritual continuity between myself and my agrarian ancestors. I feel just a little bit like my grandfather.

Take care.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
