I really love being in the country. I grew up in Houston & moved to the "boondocks" a few years ago. DH & I have been steadily saving to build this new house & we are having a great time getting everything in order. Now we're working on the pond which has a leak in the dam. :(

I did plant some fast growing Hybrid Poplars for quick shade. We will cut them down after a few years. Also have Live, Red, & Bur Oaks; Texas Ash; Peach, Plum, Pecan, Pear, Satsuma Orange....gosh, what else??? Oh! The Weeping Willow I planted Saturday! It's about 15' tall already. We do have some huge oaks on the property...just not in the yard. Here's one that's on the side of the driveway...(this winter)
