The Tree

Every year, the 4th graders get trees from the Soil & Water Conservation Office to take home and plant. Braden brought his tree home on Friday, April 17th (the day I left for the Women's Retreat). He and Daddy were supposed to plant the tree while I was gone. If you were unable to plant the tree right away, you were to store it in the fridge. A week later, the tree was still in there! So on Saturday, Braden and Grandpa Ernie planted his tree.... we'll have to see whether or not it survives :)

Here they are... Braden watching and Grandpa digging.

Dallas watching from the porch.


Braden packing down the dirt around the little tree.


Grandpa adding a ton of Miracle-Gro to help the poor tree along.


Turn your head to the left! Not sure why this loaded the wrong way. The tree is to the right of the rod supporting it... hard to see.
