....but it was still a good day. Bob tackled the fencing of the trees we planted the other day, and then after I had done a much needed clean of the living room/dining room area I went out to help plant the last of our three newbies! After he had made good progress on our first choice for the little crab apple tree, Bob discovered that the soil was all clay in that spot. A good place to put a pond, but not so much for a tree looking for good drainage! So time for plan B! We looked around and found a couple other spots that would be nice, but our second choice had the same problem. Finally, we decided to move a little volunteer pine down and over a bit from the front of the house and TA-DA we had the perfect spot. Now what used to be a mound of tansy and other weeds is a lovely little grove of bird dwelling, color adding, trees. Needless to say our hands are a bit sore, legs and arms are scraped and scratched and eyes are heavy but we still have a smile on our faces as we have three new tress to cheer on!
