We moved into our present house in July, five years ago. There was a slight drought going on at the time and the tree in our front yard was dead. The builders agreed they would replace the tree. And they did….during the extreme heat. It didn’t make it. So once again another tree was planted. The new tree was burned on the backside and we were doubtful~ but we watered it, fertilized it, had a tree guy take a look at it, and worried a bit more. Was it worth all the trouble? You betcha. 🙂
It’s the little things, right?
stuff i tell my sister 
Yup, definitely worth the wait. Love you!
♥
It was meant to be… That exact tree!
I think you are right 🙂
That tree is perfect for your yard… It was meant to be… Someday you can tell the great grand kids how the tree came to be… And maybe they will tell theirs…
The little things indeed! Some even grow to become bigger and gloriously colorful.
Yes they do…. 🙂
Definitely! It’s so beautiful!
I’m glad you didn’t give up on it. Beautiful tree and photo! Happy Fall.
Love those beautiful rust colored leaves. Do you ever press the leaves between pages of a heavy book and if you write names on them, they are great place cards for Thanksgiving dinner.
ooh, will have to try that!
Right 😉 Pawkiss 🙂
yes, it is )
🙂
I agree. It IS the little things. Thanks so much.

I live for the little things…and it’s always worth it. Always. xo
Amen sister ♥

Beautiful! I miss the gorgeous colors of fall we found in Oklahoma on our visit there:-)
This is a pretty year for colors….wish the season lasted longer!
I love that you care for the trees… so many others would just uproot it… lovely picture too 🙂 I love the colours 🙂
Every thing….one….deserves a chance to flourish… Thanks R! 🙂
It’s so gorgeous and thanking you for the TLC. 🙂
🙂 Well we are grateful for the color AND the birds love the hideaway!
Yes, it is the little things. And day after day after day…. they add up.
They really do…..:)
Such a pretty color of the leaves. The ice storm and lightning did a fatal number on my colorful trees, and I miss their fall offerings. Great photo, so peaceful.
We had SOOOO many trees when we lived in Missouri and Arkansas….not here….guess that makes me appreciate what we have even more!?
Soooo right… And we may not know it for many years.
You are right on that note! 🙂
Beautiful, Paula!
A silly old tree can bring many smiles… 🙂
Thanks, Naomi ♥
