Beloved trees

My very local tree loving friends and I have had a plan for a little while to plant more trees around here, and we decided to plant E Scoparia.  An opportunity came to buy some, so my friends bought some, and they were on special for $1 each!

We took them, and some saltbush and boobialla… and even parsley.

While we were out planting, and singing the tree planting blessing, this little banner went back onto its tree.

It had been home for a wash and reapplication of string. It had fallen down or been pulled down.

One of us had to climb it.

When it was all over there was another shared lunch (I am blessed with generous friends!) and chicken happiness, and bit less rubbish in the neighbourhood.
