Just planted were twenty-five 10 to 30 foot aspens on the hottest day of the year, the day before the windiest day of the year.
Having shade* in a matter of hours did feel a bit like cheating (IE. extravagant) but all the sooner these little carbon sinks will be able to offset the lumber we used to build the house.
Yesterday we lived in a field and today we live in an aspen grove**.

**Afforestation is the process of creating forests on land that was previously unforested, typically for longer than a generation. A natural carbon sink (good thing).
