Trees and a Patio Set

This weekend we picked out some trees for the yard. Trees are bling bling, but we beat some of the cost because there was a 40% sale. With delivery and installation, on a tree-by-tree basis, the cost came to about 110% of the original tree cost.

We are going to have 2 Austrian Pines, 1 Chanticleer Pear, 1 Autumn Blaze Maple, 1 Prairiefire Crabapple, 1 Semi-Dwarf Gala Apple, and 1 Semi-Dwarf McIntosh Apple. Yes, that is 7 trees. Including the other trees on our property, that totals 12 trees.

They're getting installed this week, so stay tuned for pictures. We also picked up a patio set from Home Depot at the 40% sale. It's a week for 40% off. Too bad I can't get 40% off my monthly mortgage.
