I've been looking for some white pines to plant. We currently have only one white pine in our yard. It was the Christmas tree from the year we moved in to our house in December of 1983. It was about four feet tall then but now it's pushing 50 feet tall. It's a low maintenance tree that's beautiful year round.
I scanned on down the list until I came upon a link for Arbor Day. I smiled as I read because when you join the Arbor Day Foundation, they send you 10 seedings.
Today during my break from writing, I decided to see what I could find on the Internet. I found several sources in Ohio and Pennsylvania with decent prices, but shipping from both places was expensive.

That was a no brainer for me, so I joined an organization that I love. In return, they're sending me a Tree Guide to help me identify trees, and 10 white pines.
We have a gig Friday night so when Jilda got home we practiced before dinner.
When she asked if anything interesting happened today, I told her we were now proud members of the Arbor Day Foundation and that white pines were in the mail. You can color us both happy.
Doing a good thing that leaves you better off than you were before? You should definitely be colourfully happy.
ReplyDeleteThat we are.
DeleteAwww.... that's great news. Trees are lovely. Good luck with the new tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
DeleteNow that is what I call smart! If I lived in the States I might join that too. You can't have too many trees. We need them.
ReplyDeleteI should see if we have something like this in Canada... it would be nice to plant a tree and see it change through the years;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a win-win to me
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a new daddy to 10 white pines. Let's hope they grow tall and strong and make you proud! Diana
ReplyDeleteWe've done that in years gone by. Now we have so many trees on our property that there is no space for more. I still like the Arbor Day Foundation, though, and they'll gladly take contributions from people who can't use more trees. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds Like Your Going To Have A Treemendous Gig!
ReplyDeleteMan, I so love pine trees...does that surprise you? Have fun on your gig! Who took that cool pic of you and Jilda? It's very cute!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a win/win situation. I wish we had pine trees down here~
ReplyDeleteYou should make some videos and post your gigs.
