and planting another tree. Anthony brought this tiny tree home last Wednesday,which was Earth Day.
Yesterday in the tree planting frenzy occurring in my yard, this tiny little tree also found a home.
He was pretty excited about the whole process, even when I explained that it was his job to take care of the tree, his excitement
continued until he was carrying the bucket filled with water, with which to water that tree, then his excitement turned to a look of misery. Nah, I didn't explain to him that when I was his age I had to carry water up hill both ways... (I hated when I heard that speech from my parents :) besides his father had already been sharing with him how tuff things were when he was a kid...making the current kids eyes glaze over. He recovered from the comparison and the water carrying. With a smile on his face.
