Spring is Here

What a great day! The sun was out and the temperature was in the 60's. Frank and I went to a nursery in Redmond and scouted out some trees for our garden.

While we were there, we came across a 5 foot giant sequoia. Naturally we had to buy it for our yard. We also bought an 9 foot tamarack tree. (Nothing like planting a tree to make your mark on this earth.) The tamarack (a larch tree) looks like a regular conifer but the needles turn brilliant yellow in the fall and then goes bare. It should look spectacular in the fall.
