Cool Stuff Friday
Friday has a baby cherry tree!
A month or so back, my son decided we should plant a tree. We discussed what kind, and he wanted a fruit tree. We narrowed it down to apple or cherry. When we got the tree, it was basically a sad-looking stick with a few roots. But we planted it, and I’ve been watering the thing every day.
It’ll probably be a few years before we get cherries, but our stick has leaves!

We had a maple tree we called “stick with leaves” for several years. It’s beautiful now, but that early period we had questions!

That colored pencil globe video was neat, thanks for sharing it.

We have a tree that we called “the peach twig” for years. Our cat almost knocked it over rubbing up against it the first year! It’s still tiny but has branches and fruit now. Luckily the apple tree was mature when we moved in.
Good call on cherry tree — cherries are much more expensive to buy than apples and have a shorter season.
The comedy wildlife photos were great.

The wood-turning video led to one heck of a rabbit-hole– many cool things to watch. Thank you!
