Watering what matters

We sometimes freak out when things don’t go our way.

Even when our trees lose their leaves, we still freak out a bit.

At least, I do. Sometimes.

I planted six big tall new trees on our property earlier this year and three of them have been really struggling with the heat.

But y know what?

Most of them will be fine. Heck, they’re better equipped to stand out there than I am.

We shouldn’t worry about the heat or the weather or the deer (okay, maybe a little bit about the deer)…

We should simply concern ourselve with watering what matters, and letting go of the rest.
