Do you like to eat? Us too! Do you like to cook? OMG, US TOO! We have a few fave cookbooks at the house for you to use during your time in our amaaaaaazing kitchen. We tried to keep it simple, but really, does Ottolenghi ever do anything simple? These are a few classics that we really love to use at home so we wanted to share these with you in the hopes that it inspires some amazing vacation kitchen moments.
What cookbooks do you love? Any suggestions that we're missing?

The crying tree I posted last Thursday is a Weeping Alaskan Cedar. Here are some shots of them when they're mature. Pretty cool, right? This will be a "feature tree" and we hope is grows big and tall and does lots of weeping. But for now it's just an itty bitty guy near the middle of the yard.
Do you like this, or just me?

The peeling bark from last Thursday's post might have been a dead giveaway. We'll have three River Birch / Betula Nigra trees in the NE quadrant of our yard, near the existing magnolia tree.
I can't wait to see how these things grow and add dimension and color to our yard! They are stunners!

The evergreen trees from last Tuesday are Thuja / Green Giants. These things grow fast - over 3 feet a year (per the internet, which only has the most accurate information). We're hoping these 20 green giants will give us some really nice privacy along our southern lot line, and blend in with some existing arborvitae.
Of course these aren't our actual trees, (ours are the much smaller ones in the mud pit with the terrible quality pic 😂 ) but here's hoping they look like this pretty soon!
What do you think?
