Spring is here!!!

What Beautiful Weather! With the help of a dear friend and her adorable children, Hubby & I planted 3 trees yesterday and one more today! For those keeping score, thus far we've planted 2 each of 3 varieties of cherries and 2 Peach trees for a Total of 8 trees! 

Whew! Was THAT a ton of work. Digging the holes, loading up the wheelbarrow up with composted manure, walking it back across the field to the hole, filling it in, filling up 5 gallon milk jugs with water from the pond, walling back with 5 FULL gallon jugs back across the field to the hole, fill in hole partway, put soaked tree & roots in hole, fill in around the tree & roots, pour water from jugs to hole, gather up everything and move on to the next tree. I know there's probably an easier way, but it's a great work out!!! :) I can't wait until these babies are old enough to bear fruit!
