Introducing the newest addition to our homestead, Homer! James and I found him planted in the front yard when we returned from Meijer on Friday. He's a good looking tree. Sturdy, with good branch structure. We took votes on names, and Ava suggested Tree, but I thought that sounded too dramatic. I suggested Homer, and Ava was all about that as he is in our yard in front of our home. She did balk for a moment though, not sure if the tree is a girl or a boy, so we compromised and his full name is Homer Pauline Thuringer. Pauline in case there's some girl in there. A hermaphrodite tree? My worst nightmare come to life.

Dear Homer Pauline,
Welcome to your new home. It's a good home. The small chickens inside the warm and cozy quarters will be sure to scare off the local hounds, keeping them from annointing you as one of their own. And they'll call you "home base" on many a game of "Tag". You'll be a fast friend to the beauty girl and that pure and true of heart boy. Ah, but don't be heartbroken when they grow up fast and far past your arching reach. They'll never forget the day you arrived at their home's gate. And you'll dwell in their hearts for the rest of their days. Yes. You are a fine and good tree indeed.
