It seemed like a good idea at the time

It seemed like a good idea at the time, ordering those bareroot pecan trees. Did you know that a bare root pecan tree can be six and a half feet tall and half of it is root? Did you know that a pecan has a strong tap root that must be planted straight up and down? When was the last time you dug a hole 42 inches deep? Did you know that digging a hole 42 inches deep can transform an affable, willing husband into something altogether different?

Good thing we only bought three, Stephen said.
