five dollar investment

Last fall, while on a rare solo trip to Lowe's, I found myself wondering outside playing "if I had a million dollars I would do X with my yard" when I saw a man working to move a small group of sad little trees. "These trees have just been marked down to $5 for anyone who wants them. I don't want to have to move them!" Uhh, me please! I right away laid claim to the least 'on the verge of dying' one I could pick out and left with a smile on my face. Luke helped me plant the poor sucker, and for a while, I wasn't sure if it would last. But this little sucker has shot up out of no where this spring/summer and is now producing the most beautiful foliage in my yard. In a neighborhood full of Oaks (beautiful trees but not known for their fall color) the little $5-tree-that-could provides some nice cheery fall color. Best five dollars I could have spent.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodSM4f4vBHEp7v5yDxay8gjMVOO8XWer9cX2pTMstTPZsi7lysM26HKsdR_g_adN7e9EGTjIRdYSUGT1JmbaKbN0HXNVI5XW11BxQltl-0rhlSV0v26HeqX6hRJOrs2RwPP36D3Eh0Ur2/s1600/PA259918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgodSM4f4vBHEp7v5yDxay8gjMVOO8XWer9cX2pTMstTPZsi7lysM26HKsdR_g_adN7e9EGTjIRdYSUGT1JmbaKbN0HXNVI5XW11BxQltl-0rhlSV0v26HeqX6hRJOrs2RwPP36D3Eh0Ur2/s320/PA259918.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Happy $5 tree</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
