As of today I feel like I can officially be called an orchardess. Before today my involvement with our orchard has primarily been taking pictures. But this afternoon I helped The Farmer mark out where he will be drilling holes for the trees we have here (about half of what we are planting this year). He was able to get started on punches the holes today which is really good because the trees REALLY need to get in the ground.
Lessons learned today:
Jeans are hot
Allergies are no fun and especially no fun when pregnant
SPF 15 is not enough on skin that has not seen the light of day in at least six months
And now we must observe a moment of silence to three tress lost to the hands, I mean mouths of gophers. Micah did enjoy playing with the poor tree, notice the lack of roots. (Shaking my fist at the gophers). But all in all three isn't that bad. Plus The Farmer has gotten back at those gophers. Hehe.
Already Micah is in training to help in the field and finding out how much fun it is to be outside. And don't you make a lovely orchardess

the dead trees provide something for Micah to play around with too - sticks and boys! A. Joan
