Trees planted on the Letnes homestead. 
The barren landscape surrounding the new Letnes home in Blaine has succumbed to sod, plants and now trees, courtesy Linda's little brother, Steve, and her son, Steve. Yesterday a planting bee installed a blaze maple, two firebird crabapples and three techny arbor vitae. According to Uncle Steve, "Steven Richard provided the labor, Linda provided the direction, and I provided the technical supervision."
Terrific work, team. Says Linda: "Do they ever look great!"
We agree, there's just nothing like a tree.

I THINK that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
