A Spekboom by any other name...
Monday 8th January was our second wedding anniversary. We started the tradition last year of planting a tree each year on our anniversary. Last year we planted an indigenous tree in our garden in PMB, this year we have planted a spekboom (who we loving refer to as ‘spekboom’) in our garden in Atamelang.
Spekboom is a cutting from a spekboom plant in David and Leesa’s garden, which is originally a cutting from Michael’s mom’s family farm in theKaroo . So we like to think Spekboom is in familiar soil and comfortable under the blazing North West sun, he’s not so sure yet, but we think he’ll come around…

Congratulations!
Megan and I celebrate 13 years on the 29th of January. All the best marriages take place in January!
Planting a tree is a wonderful idea. I just wonder what you would do if somehow (not likely in the MCSA) you managed to stay in the same Church for 20 years. You would have a lovely wooded garden.
On another note, wouldn't it be great to go back to all the places where you planted trees a couple of years down the line and remember how they (and you) have grown?
Bless you friends.
