It's official. Fall is here. The evenings are chilly, the leaves are changing color, and the nights for firecamping are limited before the snow flies. I personally love this time of year.
On Saturday, Connor's girlfriend Emily came to hang out. The kids played (Connor and Em were so good to Ramsey - so grateful!), visited, and we had a nice supper together. Then, in the evening, Connor and Emily started a campfire.
There was another task that had been on our "master list" for a few months; digging up "Adorable" (a coniferous tree, growing in the rip rap, that Ramsey had previously given the sweet nomenclature), potting her (it?), and bringing her indoors.
She was nestled in the rocks very curiously and it was a challenging extraction. Her roots grew between the rocks; some pointing down, some to the side - odd!
Daddy did a good job setting her free. Perhaps she liked her home, but she would have been yanked from the rocks eventually (and, mind you, most likely not given the opportunity to enjoy a long full tree life). But, since Ramsey had a cute connection to her, we decided to save her [now] and watch her grow.
The plan is to replant her (somewhere in our yard) next year. She can be "Ramsey's Tree". We're not sure just yet what type of evergreen she is (hopefully something aesthetically pleasing!).
...More good times around a campfire with some pretty special people....
and an adopted tree.
