Last weekend we found the perfect Cornus Florida 'Rubra' a.k.a. Dogwood for Eli at Bongard's Nursery. I got around to planting it this weekend, and, it looks great!
Jen pointed out some symbolizim in the size of the tree we picked. Eli's tree is already a good 5' tall, whereas Jen and I's trees started at around 1-2' tall. And, Eli's tree is front and center in our yard, with my tree off in the shady bowels of the upper garden. It's a sign that we've already begun putting Eli ahead of ourselves. We've even fixed up his room to be the best room in the house.

The tree adds so much to our yard! Now that its there, I couldn't picture our garden without it! I know Eli will do the same for us. Cheesy but true.
It's so amazing how you've done such a nice job with the garden ! Dogwood is one of my favorites! Lots of them in S.C..when we lived there too.
