Today was another day of planting apple trees.
In my drive home as I turned on to our street, I saw that The Boy had been busy again. In addition to the four apple trees there this morning, the far field (soon to be The Orchard once we have two fruit varieties there or sufficient quantity) was populated with a bag of mulch, a bag of composted leaves, three shovels, a wagon, and a stroller. I don't know why, but there was a stroller there.
Eventually, I found out that The Girl wanted to help push something to the field so she got to push an empty stroller. Well..........okay.......moving on.........
Again, the two big kids helped me plant another tree. Enterprise, this time. The only change is that The Girl helped dig the hole while The Boy schlepped buckets of water and an extra bag of mulch from the house. Genius strategery on the part of dear, ol' dad to keep the kids from messing with one another.
In the end, another apple tree was planted in the field leaving only one left all alone on the driveway pad.
