I just joined the Arbor Day Foundation.
Did you know you can get 10 trees for a max of $15? OK, so they're twigs. So what? Join them already! www.arborday.org Then you get other trees (not twigs) for next to nothing compared to going to the store--any store. I'm going to buy nine trees for less than the cost of two at Lowe's.
Did you know that the aspen tree actually grows in central Missouri? (According to Arbor Day, anyway.) I'm so pumped. It'll be like a little bit of Colorado in my back yard. Assuming I can keep them alive, of course. :)
I'm very excited about planting trees.
And this weekend Christian and I went down to the creek--which is nothing more glorious than a stormwater drain--and cleaned up trash behind our property. It was awful how much there was, really. Most of it washed downstream from the streets, but even so. And the other day, I was sitting in line at the traffic light when I actually *saw* someone open their door and drop a styrofoam cup on the ground.
Who are you people? And how can you go through your life without ever once thinking, "Duh, maybe this is not a good idea!"??????
Didn't your parents teach you better than that?

We want to plant trees when we move into our new house this summer -- this looks like a great place to get them! Thanks!!
They don't come with a guarantee--that's the main down side. But they're cheap!
