Do something good for the environment

How did you spend your St. Patty's holiday weekend? I bet you went out and got drunk, well good for you.

I spent my Sunday, over the holiday weekend, planting a tree. Our house has an old fashion clothesline which needed to be removed. It was the old steel kind and probably hasn't been used since the dawn of creation. Seems the wasps liked this dinosaur piece of lawn furniture too.
What should have been a 15-30 minute removal process turned into about 3 hours instead. The wasps had obviously created a net inside of the metal tubing and didn't like me messing with their home. I had to redirect attention quite often while working around them. I knew it wouldn't take much to remove. However I can tell you, that cement footer was heavier then I expected.

What once was a clothesline, was now a gaping whole in the ground. After some thought of how to fill this hole, the thought of planting a tree crossed my mind. I tend to eat a lot more fruit then I used to. Who would have thought finding a fruit tree at a nursery would be such a pain. After spending 30 minutes looking and driving, $54 dollars later I had myself a tree.

A days work of grueling digging and back breaking heavy weights. I have a nice Florida sun burn and a beautiful tree. Hopefully with my care and maintenance, this time next year I will be able to enjoy the fruit harvest.
