Expecting Snow: Saving Our Cherry Tree

The Forcast is Snow and Freezing Temperatures

We're expecting some freezing temperatures and because we've had some warm weather, our cherry tree is covered in cherry blossoms.

This is trouble, since if the blossoms freeze, there won't be any cherries this summer!

Hope This Works!

We're hoping that the heat from the ground and the tarp over the tree will allow just enough warmth that the fragile blossoms stay fresh and not frozen.

We heated up some bricks in the oven and placed them under the tarp to lend some extra warmth for the tree.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations. Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Awesome job with the cherry tree. It will love the extra heat of the bricks.

Very interested to learn about Tuttle Twin books for the first time! This is so perfect for my two little ones.

Appreciate the introduction very much!

By the way, you have just introduced me to @sebcam. I what an awesome channel, amazing mindset in that man. I had NO IDEA he was on steemit / HIVE all this time, I would have been supporting him had I known. He's on my autovoter now and so are you.

Great to learn you are now following Seb. He is a very special human and if you ever have any questions relating to a raw vegan diet or even any health issues, he has time for everyone and always has the correct answer! He has been my health guru & motivational teacher for many years.

Thanks for the autovoter add too! That is very kind of you.

I try with my posts to both entertain and educate in some way. But my focus is mostly on the kids & garden, the two things which occupy my time the most.

Looks like the cherry blossoms may have survived the night. It did get cold and snow, but it's all melting rapidly today.

Our family LOVES reading Tuttle Twin books. I am an affiliate and offer HIVE incentives if you buy with my link. I encourage families to invest in the whole collection, we have favorites but like them all.

Certainly I intend to buy the collection. Will make sure to do it with your link. Seems like a really excellent idea and I am looking forward to reading them!

May the cherry tree be spared @ironshield! We're also having bizarre weather patterns that affects the trees, gardens even the animals. Interesting..... I had a good chuckle at your last comment about being fruitful and multiplying. You're even with my husband. He's also on 6 but a bumper crop of boys and our one little girl. How far along is @lturner?

Thank you for the well wishes concerning our tree. It did snow, but didn't get as cold as we thought. Just a few more evenings to go. Our 6th hasn't arrived yet, but @lturner is 18 weeks in, so progressing nicely.
