300

It is hard to believe this is our 300th post...and more hard to believe that we started this blog in June of 2007--almost three years ago. It sure doesn't seem that long!

Geoff wanted the boys to help plant a tree while the landscaping is still going on. So they hleped plant a tall pear tree today. It was very cold - and windy - and the boys have a cold - and J was feeling a little grumpy. That works out to a very fast tree planting!

Digging the hole:
Throwing the fertilizer in:

The finishing touches are going in on the yard. It looks so different! If you look in the background there are two guys on ladders...we decided to put gutters on the house and here you can see the mini boulder wall in the front:
Some terracing near the stairs in the front:

It is coming along....
