"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

I love this proverb. It applies to so many things in my life.

Somedays I think I should have the proverb tattooed on my forehead. That is, if I were a tattoo kind of person. Or the kind of tattoo person who tattoos things on their forehead.

But, I'm not either of those things.

I AM, however, a major procrastinator. And I definitely plan to deal with that sometime soon. LOL

Anyway, I'd like to plant a little orchard this year. I think apple, pear, and cherry -- maybe even peach. Since I didn't plant these trees 20 years ago, I guess I should try to plant them now... it is, after all, the second best time to do so.

Or, maybe I'll plant them tomorrow.

Definitely by this fall.

...or next spring.
