Our baby nectarine

The work crew. Where is Everett, you may ask? Inside reading (and hiding from work.) He read four novels this weekend alone!

"We" planted our first tree at our new home--a nectarine that will hopefully be productive in a year or two. It seemed like a pretty big step, and a pretty exciting one! James is a beast and has been working to make our garden beautiful every single Saturday for MONTHS, and it's been a whole lot of stones and dirt and sprinkler systems and digging holes. But yesterday, oh yesterday, we planted a tree!!! The garden still has a ways to go to be ready for the spring, but I can't help but get a smile on my face over my new baby nectarine. ("We" planted it really meant that James did all the prep work and then allowed me to actually put the tree in the hole...and then he buried and perfected it. Love him for letting me be involved!)
