Today was Earth Day and next week (April 30) is Arbor Day, so it was the perfect time the plant a tree in our yard.
One of our maple trees (I'm not sure if it's a Red Maple or a Crimson King Maple) throws off an incredible amount of seedlings all over our yard and normally they either die off or they get mowed over before they even have a chance to grow. However, last year being the year that we paid absolutely no attention whatsoever to our yard, a couple of the seedlings not only took root, but flourished. The largest grew over five feet and had established a nice straight trunk.
We have a couple of trees that have died and will need to come down, so we decided to take Mother Maple's gift to us and try to nurture those trees into adulthood.
And just because there's nothing better than drinking water straight out of the hose, I'll share this too.

I love volunteer trees. I have several at my house.
