On Penury Hill, we believe strongly in leaving the planet in better condition for the next generation. Each year, we plant trees and add more perennials to enhance the soil.

This year an Austrian Pine joined our Fat Albert Colorado Blue Spruce on the east lawn. Arlene and the dogs, Narnia and Suki, have a ritual of walking back to talk to the trees as they grow strong! A group of farm cats join in the meander, not wanting to miss any fun.

Two Ponderosa pine were added to the entrance area. Arlene has named the three Ponderosa's Adam, Hoss and LIttle Joe. Just made sense!
