Trees

We've been on our homestead for 5 years. It might seem like we haven't accomplished much, but this is because we don't deal with financing. When we have money, we do a project. Al hamdulillah, the journey has been a beautiful one. If we had all of the money at once or bought an established homestead, we wouldn't have appreciated it as much, or neglected the benefits of reflecting on Allah's creation.

One of the most beautiful things is planting trees! Between March 14th and the 21st, we planted 50 trees. We also planted a few flowers. We intend to blanket our property with trees. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, trees played an integral part of my childhood. There's something special about playing outside all day, and eating cherries from your grandmother's tree that is peaceful. I grew up eating fresh cherries, apples, grapes, blackberries, and mulberries...and I want my grandchildren you one day experience a similar enjoyment.

Here are some pictures of the greenery on our homestead.
