Phineas Herbert: The Baby Tree

My daughter is so refreshing. Do you know what she asked Santa for? A tree. Yes. You read that right. A tree. A red oak to be specific. She wanted a tree to plant. She met with the parks and recreation department lady who is in charge of trees here in our neck of the woods. Together they chose a spot in a local park for her tree and marked it off. Popdaughter took her posse to the tree farm, chose the tree, bought the tree, hauled it to the park, unloaded it, hauled it to the chosen spot, planted it, mulched it, hugged and kissed it. She's visited each day since. Here are some pics that chronicle the whole thing.
