Breeze and Trees

There is a glorious breeze blowing through our house tonight. It smells of freshly mown grass and a smokey hint of last night's bonfire. It's refreshing~a small reward after a hard day's work.

Trees had to go into the ground today. We had purchased several types of trees in bulk. Today we planted 25 Red Maple and 50 of a shrub called Nine Bark. We planted them along the east and west sides of our drive. This picture gives you a scope of the project. There's HE at the bend in the drive.

Oh, there HE is! Note the beehives to the right.

The trees were really nothing more than sticks. But the price was great and if even half of them survive it will add some beauty to our landscape.

Meanwhile the garden was neglected today, though I did pick some black and red stripey bugs off my tiny radish seedlings. Little creeps! If anyone has any idea what this might be, let me know! I can't seem to find it anywhere.

These guys are ready to get into the ground, I think. So much to do, so little time.
