Tree Planting!

There's a lot of ways to plant a tree - some easy and some hard.  

Last fall we hired a guy with a tree spade to move a nice maple to the front of our house.  Call us impatient, but we'll enjoy it's leaves and shade this summer. See the clip below.

But not all trees go up quickly.  Each spring Paul orders seedlings to replenish his supply of Christmas trees.  There are plots all over the farm.  Here are some photos of him planting in front of our house (Villa Mir II).

In the Home Stretch!

Carol was at the farm for two weeks late March to early April to help along the finishing touches on the old house. Here's a long overdue gallery of photos of the renovation.
