Commentary:

Happy Summer!

Although the world appears to be losing its collective mind, we went ahead planted some trees this week here Chez NuVoid, including this beautiful Yoshino Cherry. We hired Moore & Moore for both the design work and installation, who were delightful to work with. They have the nicest plants in town and were worth every penny.

Of course, summer is not the best time for planting, so I will have to be diligent in keeping them all well-irrigated in the unrelenting heat. It will be worth it in the end, however, for in a few years, they will be providing some much-needed shade.

Now, back to the insanity....
