Wedding Anniversaries
Recently friends celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. On their invitations they asked for sapling trees, compost and organic plant food instead of gifts. They also asked that each person attending bring a spade and come dressed in older clothes. Everyone took their saplings and planted them in an empty lot across the road. What a lovely way to celebrate their marriage.
