This past week has been a blur of cold winds {and flippin flurries}, late nights, early mornings, sizzling bacon, ribbon, hot glue, cleaning house, muddy shoes, wet grass, and digging holes.
Mostly because as the title reads: we planted a small orchard this past weekend!
We now have apple, plum, apricot, pear, cherry and peach trees that dot our still very naked backyard.
We all helped to put them in the ground.
The Hub measured and dug almost every hole while I held the very slender trunk and made sure it was straight. Then we collectively pushed all the dirt back over the top of the hole.
Nolan smushed the unearthed dirt back on top of the trunk with his shoes.
And Nev... well she ate some string cheese and supervised the project.
Then we stretched the hose all the way to the back of the yard and let Nolan water the trees.
He enjoyed it for about three minutes before he mistakenly took the hose over his head and drenched his coat and hair.
Can't wait until they get leaves. And of course fruit!
So there ya go... another part of my 30 before 30.
Done. {pats own back}
