Silas' Tree

Each of our children has a tree planted in the yard that is "their tree."  

Some other trees are designated to different people as well.

William has a sycamore (whose mother's seed went to the moon with the astronauts!).

Vera has a crepe myrtle (we planted something that died, and a crepe myrtle came up instead).

We lost one sweet baby early in pregnancy for whom we planted a yellow fig tree.

Justin has a maple.

Anna has a weeping cherry (the "huff and puff tree" that we use to play the Three Little Pigs).

This past week we planted Silas' tree.  Silas gets a fugi apple tree down in the orchard.

Silas mostly enjoyed trying to eat the grass around the tree, but we look forward to when he can snack on an apple off of his very own tree!
