Hello all!  I’ve been busy sewing, quilting and designing this winter but yesterday and today I’m dedicated to the orchard.  It’ time to plant the trees!

We’re only planting about 300 this year. 

Here are some pictures from our progress yesterday.  We had a super good helper you may recognize as Pip.

Here is Pip at the start of the day!  She was excited to have her own shovel.

After 10 trees she decided she was hot and needed to change.

And of course, being the diva she is she changed back for the last set up trees we put in.  At least it was the same outfit as earlier in the day!

I have a new friend on instagram and she always does these really fun selfies with just the top of her head.  I had to do just one of me driving the Kubota 900. 

And – to end the gorgeous day I took this stunning picture of my magnolia tree in bloom!  Isn’t that amazing!?

Calm down, calm down.  The apple trees are nowhere near bloom yet.  I promise I will let you know when they’re getting close!
