Confessions of a homemaker...

This might have to become a new thing for me on here, as I'm really getting into taking care of my own place. At least mostly… Cleaning things isn't so exciting (but I do like what comes after), but I am stoked about the yard

I have to admit that I never worked with the trees at our weekend house as much as my parents did, but for me, fruit trees are simply the best possible plants in the garden, especially when they grow big enough bear fruits and give some shade from the sun. It's definitely worth investing in a few! :)

I keep thinking I have replied to this, when clearly, I have not replied to it! Many weeks after the fact, I agree, fruit trees are some of my favorite of trees. I loved walking outside my parents' house and being able to pick ripe cherries to enjoy. Especially on years the tree bore a ton of fruit, the branches would hang down very low to the ground, as if begging me to pick the fruit. I appreciated it, as my short stature means only being able to reach lower branches, so some years I got to enjoy extra fruit. :)

Look! It's grass.

Going on nearly four years, there's still an enjoyment out of maintaining my own home, even though it's just an apartment. But it's a place we both love, which I think adds a lot. I can't wait to see how the trees do!

Sadly, the grass is being consumed by dandelions, so I've begun the war to fend off the invader to save the grass. A friend's new yard is nothing but weeds, and I'd rather not replicate the look!

Having any space to call your own is great. It's pretty fun basically inheriting a small fruit orchard though, as in the past month we also found out the previous homeowner had planted blueberries as well, so once we save them from grass, it ought to be a ….fruitful year. :D
