Weeping Willow, in Three Takes

A couple of months ago, I posted a nostalgic entry about the two Weeping Willows that grew in my childhood backyard.

The memories of those trees got Mom and me to talking about Weeping Willows again; we started longing for the sight of one's branches swaying in the wind.

We decided to plant one. It arrived today.

Verona, Wisconsin, May 2012. We positioned the tree far from the house. That way, if the bugs we encountered in Chicago surface here, then they may not make it indoors.
 
The lawn still has a lot of debris from yesterday's wind storm.
