Harris' Tree

I'm back!  Here's just a short little post to get me jump started again...

Last year some awesome, caring friends all pitched in and got us a gift card to get a tree in memory of Harris.  We planted it in our backyard in June of last year.  It's a Laurel Leaf Willow, a tree that I've often admired because they grow very full and wide.  Last winter was a hard year on the trees where I live.  Come spring, Harris' tree didn't look very good.  In fact, I was pretty sure it was dead.  We contemplated taking it back and getting a new one since it had a one year warranty on it.  Obviously, it had huge sentimental value on it, so instead, Dan decided to just cut it back and see what happened. 

It then looked like this:

Super sad right??  Luckily, our next door neighbour is like a tree genius and about 6 weeks later our tree looked like this:

Super amazing right?  Turns out his tree was pretty resilient too.  Just like me!
