I appreciate the posts and the kind words.
I've been out of town the last two months but now back and ready to tackle some spring projects. The last two springs have been very dominated by construction so we're looking forward to being able to do some landscaping this year. We also plan to complete the outdoor kitchen by adding a limestone facade to the fireplace and counters.
Earlier in this thread we mentioned our lack of success in buying hundreds of small inexpensive trees and then not taking care of them. We are trying a new approach this year and will get just a few trees that we plan to take good care of.
