Cindy I caught a part of your program on the way to work several days ago and you were talking about front yard trees. I didn't get here what your suggestions were.

I would love to here any suggestions anyone may have reading this.

It's a small front yard the yellow wood maybe to big. I'm up for anything. I like things that are different. I have even thought of planting an apple tree in the front yard. My wife is from Washington State and grew up in the middle of hundreds of orchards. Kind of makes sense to me.
