Tree hundred

Dave ordered about 300 trees from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to plant on our property. They arrived in small bundles...much smaller than either of us expected.


Dave set to work digging holes and planting what looked like christmas tree clippings.




He dug so many holes he actually broke that shovel (the metal shovel head part), stopped working, ran to Home Depot and bought a new one.


It was a lot of hard work so Clark and I brought him some gatorade and admired all of his digging.


He put in little flag so he wouldn't accidentally mow over the little saplings:


Today I have a "before and after" for my Moose ending and it's not a happy one.

Here is Moose last fall, at about 85 pounds.


And here he is at his current weight...103. Fat boy on a diet...don't try it...and so on....
