Did I ever tell you about my love for planting trees? I love it so much that I am doing it every %¤##"@!!! year. Usually around autumn, only to find out that once the loooong dark cold Finnish winter has retreated further north, most of the sad looking little leftovers didn't make it....again.
This year we chose to do it in Spring...against the advise of many "wise" people who say Autumn is defenitely the best time. We've tried 30 big ones, then 20 small ones and today 10 mid-sized ones, we'll give them all our love and water, hoping that one day they will love us back.
Today I have good hopes for the future of our trees, they look good, feel good, smell good. Maybe someday I get to tell my grandchildren about how grandpa planted ALL the trees...several times :)
