I am pleased to announce that my stick trees that I planted a while back (around Christmas I think) now have teeny buds on them. I’m amazed. I think I must have better luck at growing things in the ground. (Why is it that I can’t kill the obnoxious bushes in front of our house, but potted plants practically commit suicide in front of me? Explain that.) Anyway, these “trees” which are just twigs stuck in the ground really seem to be taking to our yard. So exciting!

Tomorrow is one year. One whole year. For both Kristina and I. Will explain tomorrow if you don’t already know. Must make it through today first. Not hard.
