A tree for Nate


A ex-employee of mine, Ruth and her fiance Dirk came over to plant a Rose bush for me in my yard that will produce rose hips that I can make tea with. Ruth gave me some rose hips from her's already and it makes a great tea full of Vit C. They will help me with picking the rose hips and if we ever move they with help us move and transplant it.
I told them the Rose bush would be in honor of Nate's birth. The Rose plant is over 80 years old and has been moved from Vancouver to Richmond and some of the off shoot back to Vancouver (like mine) and to their new home in Coquitlam. I'm so excited and there are a few tiny little rose buds on it already and I'll get more and more every year, wheeeeee....
I can't thank Ruth and Dirk enough for such a wonderful gift that we will cherish for years.
