Gee - I’m - a - tree

 In high school my favorite subject was math. Specifically Geometry. I was very good at it. Maybe that’s why I love quilting, measuring squares, triangles, 1/4 inch seams -  all geometry!

My teacher would sometimes grade on a curve. When he did there was always an extra credit question. One day I walk into class and the test score were on the board. I got the highest - 105. 100 on the test and 5 points for the bonus question. Classmates were not happy with me.

I will never forget that question.

 “What does an acorn (we have lots of acorns) say when it grows up? Gee-I’m-a-Tree.

So I named our new tree. Mr. Z in honor of my teacher. Yes, it’s ok to name trees.

New addition to side yard

We had a crabapple tree there that died a slow death and had to come down. I liked the openness of the front yard.

Then After a storm we lost power and the down lines were behind our neighbors house.  ComEd thought it was a good idea to cut thru our yard.

Cost us $700 to fix it

Couple weeks ago they knocked on our door and asked to use our yard to get back there again. BIG NO!!! I showed them what happen last time. We needed to do something so they stop asking to go back there thru our yard.

Thanks to Wasco Nursery and these 3 gentlemen we got this beautiful blue spruce. It’s just a baby right now, but eventually it’s gonna be 15-20 tall. 

Now, the only question is Christmas light or no Christmas lights?
