On Friday, we planted a tree! On Saturday, we got new gutters. Perhaps one day, that little tree will grow to fill our new gutters with leaves.
We're so relieved that the gutter guys finally showed up. There is a new gutter on the driveway side of the house that we hope will alleviate some of the basement window leakage, and a new one across the back porch (off the flat roof) that we hope will help the condition of the ground in the backyard.
The tree is an apple tree. It should produce this old-style apple called "Ashmead's Kernel." We bought the tree (little more than a twig, really) at Cider Day.
I think at Christmas time, you should put a blue blanket around the base and hang one big red ornament on the tree.
