Day 133 - hot tree moving and painting day

Day 133 started early again although I had hoped for a wee sleep in day, not! Up at 8,  S and I headed to Tim's :-) and off to the ranch where he took the skid steer over to Matt's to auger a few holes.

 While he was gone I weeded the south lot of trees to prepare for moving. Once he got back we got busy drilling holes for where we wanted to plant trees. We had used text a search via Mom and Amanda. They got the info and we augered.

 here is our layout plan not counting the tower polar in the middle

 and our first mystery tree planted, it grew in my flowerbed volunteer

 the north side plan

 and the south

 different angle.. but can see Sheldon auguring the 3ft spaced holes for the lilac hedge

 Daisy had to have a nap after all that running this w/e, poor girl
at 1 we headed to town for lunch and to pick up the girls. On the way back to the ranch we stopped to get 3 gallons of primer for the girls project of painting the garage

 Sheldon and I went to dig some trees with the "girls"

 here is where he tucked away the "Grandma" trees

 the girls look on

 then we grabbed

 loaded and ready to roll

 after a few hours of planting and digging and now watering

 north rows

 south rows, but when we got home Mom phoned to say the distance between rows was wrong.. UGH.. there went a day in the sun but at least the Grandma trees are planted right

 girls painting away getting the 3 harder walls done

Sheldon loaded the auger and the drift wood "mantle" log up and at 6 we came to town for a delicious supper, showers and then the packing began. Another successful day building the ranch! .. if you don't count the tree dilemma!
