And Let There Be Trees


Who could tell this house started as a slab just a few months ago? And now there are trees, shrubs, and miscellaneous plantings. When Mary Helen gets her hands in the dirt, there will be color galore.
In about three weeks, she and Smith will pack up their temporary residence and settle into the new house. Step by step this process has taught us all what building a dream entails.
Years ago my across the street neighbors planted a stick in their front yard. While we were busy with life, that tree grew and grew into something magnificent. Mary Helen's trees will bring shade, softness, and texture to their front yard.....and they will grow and grow.
We are to be like trees ----planted by streams of water. Not a bad assignment!
