A few years ago Wendy wanted to plant a tree that would give our deck some shade in the heat of the afternoon. After talking with the local landscape dealer we decided on the Ortmental Pear shown here. The tree has a beautiful white flower in the spring which unfortunately also has a evry stinky smell to it. Within a week or two the buds give way to a very hardy leaf that provides ample shade to the deck.
The kids spent Saturday night and Sunday with us. We went an a short bike ride to Elgin Community Collage after taking the dogs to the park. We discussed what movie we would rent with Tiff explaining that the only movies Cody likes is the "shoot em up, blow em up blood and guts" movies. Cody is quick to point out the only movies that Tiffani likes is the "horror, blood and guts scary" movies in which Tiff sheepishly replies "I can't help it I like them". After looking at what was offered for rent, in a four to one vote, Cody the lone no vote, the majority decided on the "March of the Penguins". Our reviews ended up with five thumbs up. An amazing documentary that must be seen on HDTV.
