Green Peace


Meet Cody, he is my once normal husband, who has now turned into a tree hugger. He is obsessed with planting trees. (A few weeks ago he had to cut a few trees down because of BoxElder bugs and is now--I think--feeling remorseful.) He has been buying cheap trees from Home Depot, and is depositing them in various places throughout the city. The one picture here is in a grassy meadow near a freeway entrance. After the tree is planted, he occasionally does a 'drive by' to water it and make sure he/she is still surviving. I love the way he cares so much about these plants and treats them like a pet. His Mom has an extremely green thumb, to say the least, so I think it's in his blood. I'm happy of his new found hobby, as long as he doesn't make me join Green Peace.

I love trees! I think that is so awesome that Cody is planting trees. When we moved out here I was sad that since it was such a new area there are no mature trees (our old yard had 8!). So we plant them also as much as we can.

Cody is SO funny! I love it. Is the tree he planted on the freeway entrance/exit in Sugarhouse? I think I remember him talking about that. I'm going to have to look next time I drive by!
