We planted out new fruit trees in the backyard a few days ago. We have one apple tree and a pear tree. Sky and Matt dug the holes and planted them. Hopefully we will have some yummy homegrown fruit this coming fall. We loved the new trees so much that we got another for our front yard. Its a flowering cherry tree called a Yoshino. We decided to call the tree "Yoshimitso" in honor of one of Skylar's favorite video game fighters from the game Tekken 2. Which by the way, she has been playing everyday for the past week, her gaming skills are improving immensely.
While I'm on the subject of planting things... I started the seeds for out milkweed plants. We plan on having a butterfly garden this spring, and Monarch butterflies will only lay eggs on the milkweed plant, its not the most beautiful plant, but the butterflies it will bring to our yard will be. If all goes as planned, they should be big enough to go outsede in about 8 weeks. I will post more on that later. :)

It’s so cute how you named the cherry tree! I also really like how your young daughter got involved and seemed to enjoy planting the trees in your backyard. How are your fruit trees these days? I hope they’re healthy and still producing yummy fruit for you guys to enjoy!
