Where did those trees come from?

     We received a very generous gift from the Todd Family.  They had heard we were interested in some lilac clippings and they had a lilac tree they wanted to get rid of.  So, Saturday morning they called and asked us if we wanted to come and get some from them.  After a couple of hours of digging the tree out and a short trip in the back of a truck we had a large lilac tree in our driveway.  We borrowed a post-hole digger from the ReStore and spent the rest of the day digging, cutting, holding, watering, and tying our new lilac hedge along our fence.  

     We were hoping to put in a hedge over the next few years with one small bush at a time, but we were able to save hundreds of dollars and several years of waiting for them to grow.  Now we just have to make sure they survive the shock of transplant.  So, Thank You to the Todd's for the tree and free delivery, Dustin for the extra manual labor of digging it out, the ReStore for the free Tool Library, and the Cox's for helping us transplant even though your tree was blown over while ours were going up.  A special thanks also goes to Ganon for going along with my crazy plan and working hard even when it hurt.   It looks great!
