Amatuer Botanist/Horticulturist Extrordinaire

That's me. I checked out an easy guide to tree identification from the library and I am a reading while walking and pointing, tree identifying Nancy Drew!  I even impressed my husband with my knowlege... not an easy task. We moved to a new home recently and the mature trees in our yard were nothing but barren stick figures... but now, they are budding and blossoming and I am so fascinated! 

I feel like I'm solving a mystery each time I deduce which tree is which.  "You eluded me before, but now I've caught you red-handed Mr. Silver Maple!"  "Give it up, Sweet Birch, I've got you all figured out!" Seriously, it's a fun hobby.  I hope to bestow this newfound knowledge on my son so, he too, will feel like a super sleuth. :)
