Planting Trees
















It was a tedious process but hopefully it will be worth it. Our trees out front had died, so we just had some big stumps. We all helped pull out the stumps, tear out the grass and plant our new trees. Tom did the brunt of the work, but the boys helped carry the grass stumps, which are very heavy. We filled up the trailor, then emptied it into the garden for fertilizer next year. Kyli was cheering us on, and Konner enjoyed watching from the warmth of his stroller.

The final product was 1 Linden tree, 1 Maple tree and 1 weeping willow. We are hoping to enjoy their beauty for years to come.

My camper down elm in the front froze mid-blooming this year. So the back has leaves but the front just has buds that froze. They say it will come back next year! Cross you fingers! What a fun family thing though, everyone needs to help in the yard to appreciate the work it takes to keep it up!
