You're breakfast sounds delightful. I don't usually eat breakfast, but once in a while, dining out in the morning can be lovely. I can easily be lured by the promise of potato pancakes, applesauce, and eggs...Mmmmm
The trees that were already thriving there looked pretty hearty to me.
That's very frustrating. One has to wonder what was "wrong" with the original trees that were alive and well. We used to have nice trees in the courtyard of my office, and they were home to many birds and squirrels. Watching them was the highlight of my otherwise dreary, deskjob of a day. Unfortunately, the complex removed them and replaced them with pine trees because they're "lower maintenance." That's a very frustrating human trait, and it leads to mediocrity in everything. Easier doesn't necessarily mean better, and now, I have no squirrely antics to watch. The birds are still here, but they've been forced to make their nests in the nooks and crannies of the building rather than a lovely tree.
