"Really Love Your Peaches..."

Over the last three months, Matty and I have been going through some decision making about our house. We were debating on whether to move and get a larger house, or stay in our home that we love and finish the basement. Finishing the basement is going to be quite an undertaking because it is the size of our whole house. In true Clothier fashion, Matty didn't make a decision and I made one and changed it every other day. The girls at work would say, "Which is it today?"
But I think we have narrowed in on staying. We love our home, and so we are going to finish the basement and do as much of the work ourselves that we can. So since we have decided to stay, we have started doing some of the home projects that we had put off. The first was that I wanted to plant some fruit trees. I remember visiting Grandma's house (readers might know her as GG in the comments) and we would see if the apricots from her apricot trees were going to survive or not that year. So Matty and I went to a nursery out near Baldwin City (that was a whole different experience that I could blog about) and picked out two peach trees. We planted them today, and not next summer, but the summer after, we could have fruit!

Cute cute picture. Your peach trees are going to be nice.

Noah will love it when the peaches do start making peaches.
