I just have to make quick mention of this; I’ve seen this before and meant to post about it, but someone’s comment about planting a tree on their neighbor’s lot made me think about it again. It’s called guerrilla gardening, and there’s a great website about it from England at www.guerrillagardening.org. Especially read the post […]

The first was last Friday, which brought snow to the mountains. It’s pretty to see Mt. Timpanogos […]
