Feeling ancient
When the kids were here a couple of weeks ago we drove out past our old farm where they spent their early childhood days.
For TreeTuesday I wanted to share these pine trees that I planted myself! I remember they came in a bundle of five little bare root seedlings and I had to cut the rubber band that held them together. I stuck them in the corner of the yard up near the road, and carried a bucket of water to them a few times, but after that they were on their own and it appears that they thrived! 
They have recently put in a bike trail that runs adjacent to the road and down through the old pasture, and it looks like they had to remove a couple of the pines, but these guys are doing great and make me feel really old!
Look at how big they are!
The lower portion of the farm, the 'bottom lands' down along the river has been turned into wildlife habitat and the kids were proud to see their name on the sign that the state put up.
We had an auction and sold all the equipment and moved from the farm in the early 80's during the recession, so there are lots of old memories there for me!

Whoops... This certainly shouldn't have posted again!
faster than my shadow ;-)
I've upvoted and reblogged it already as I was reading it? And I literally had just read the previous one! 😂😂
It's way past my bedtime! 😱 let it ride
I like the post, the memories and all that, but I didn't see your
Kids names on that sign by the state, unless one son's name
Is "Ducks" and the other one is named "Unlimited" 😜
(post upvoted @melinda010100 )
[See the tree how big it's grown]
I don't think they would answer if I called them that!
So what was that about their names being on the sign?
I looked hard, and I couldn't find anything
Like men's names. No matter, you
Got my upvote anyway ☺
My kids and grandkids last name is Rollette. I use my maiden name.
Damn! I should have caught that. :(
I didn't mean to make a fuss, thank you for clearing it up.
I'm very literal minded, gets me into trouble many times.
Such a beautiful place, it would be a perfect place for outside painting and a place to feel peace.
If owning one steem like owning a bitcoin, even a plankton like me will become super rich 😆
I'm hoping it will happen in the next 5 years! 🤞
Amen for that 😁
hey this is the one I saw before.... BTC is going up.. :)
Ha! Must be a glitch in the v2 app! I went back to do that edit and it reposted it. I let them know!
I saw a road between pine trees, perfect for biking in the morning. Moreover, the pine tree looks lush, and really fun while cycling can see animals from that place.
Thanks for this, My friend
It will be a fun hiking/biking trail!

Ooh what big and wonderful memories ! 😊 ❤️
Thanks, dear Luigi!
How wonderful to be part of all that and I am sure those pines grow super fast ... wink wink. An inspirational and beautiful post, Melinda:)
That's it! I must have put too much fertilizer on them all those years ago!
What fun to go back for a visit.
It was fun, and even more fun to have my grandson be interested in my stories!
Such beautiful greens and that looks like a cool bike trail
It's a dream I'm holding on to!
It does look like it will be a great bike trail... It will connect to a couple of the other area trails.
We have to keep hoping and dreaming;)
5 years. I think it will get to $100 in 3 years. Dreaming.....
Dreaming or positive thinking either way we have to keep hoping
Yep! It will happen!
Yes Indeed we must stay positive its not if its when :)
