Tree Planting Party

Last Super-hole Sunday (as Esther named it) some of our friends and family came over and dug a row of 21 tree holes along our creek, 3 holes in our back yard, and planted 14 trees in some of those holes! Wow! Thank you so much for the help. That was so awesome!

The trees we planted along the creek:
2 nectarines
1 Fuji Apple
1 Golden Delicious Apple
1 almond
2 plums
1 pluot
1 peach
1 Bing Cherry
1 Rainier Cherry
1 apricot

The trees in the back yard:
1 Meyer Lemon
1 kumquat

Now Jason and I get the pleasure of purchasing 10 more trees to plant in the holes that are already dug! We plan on getting more different varieties of fruit trees, plus a pecan for the row along the creek. A lime for the hole in the back yard. This will allow easy access for Jason's margarita making.

In addition to the above trees, last month Jason planted a Navel Orange and a Blood Orange in the front yard. There's also a small mystery citrus in the front yard that came with our house.

Having many fruit trees is a dream come true for Jason and I.

Anniversary Balloons

The night Jason and I were out and about tasting wine, dining on yummy Italian food, and enjoying the local talent at an open mic night in an Angel's Camp coffee shop, the boys and Gramps (Grampa Ray) blew up balloons and tied them to a shaggy bush in our front yard. Here are the boys and balloons the next day. An added bonus, Gramps taught them how to tie inflated tie balloons!

Our 15th Wedding Anniversary


Yesterday was our anniversary. We will be celebrating it tomorrow with wine tasting in Lodi and the foothills. We'll also go to dinner at an Italian restaurant in Murphy's, recommended by our pastor, Monsignor Gus. We are also looking for a fountain for our front yard as a gift to each other. :)
