We've lived in our house for 19 years. The neighborhood still looks "relatively" new because we just don't have a lot of large trees. The developer and village did a pretty crappy job of acquiring and planting the trees in very poor soil. We've gone through two trees in the front of our house alone due to the bad soil. At least we have this great Ash we got from my cousin and a hawthorne that has grown quite well since we had some landscaping done over a decade ago.
Over the past few years we realized that the trees must be getting larger - we finally have squirrels in the neighborhood. With the weather turning so cold (50's during the day, 30's at night), the squirrels have been very active.
I went out to get the mail today and there he was - a squirrel was in the middle of our lawn with a nut tucked under his left arm. Cutest and silliest damn thing I've seen in a while.
