Day 82/365


This is our new tree, Toby.  He's a hawthorne.  We got him yesterday at one of the nurserys just south of the city.  We spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of tree to get.  When we got to the nursery, we walked around looking at them, we talked to the staff there, we weighed the pros and cons of different trees, and finally decided on this, a Toba Hawthorne.....so....Toby.  We'll plant him in the front yard.  Because we face south, we're hoping that he'll offer a bit of shade for the house, as well as look beautiful.  He gets these tiny little white flowers that turn pink, then produce berries that the birds will come and eat.  I think we made a good choice.
