July 25, 2009 - After using our new posthole digger to loosen up the dirt, we dug out five big holes for the fruit trees. My friend Holly Molly works at a tree farm and we got the deal of the century on five fruit trees. She and her husband Eric came with a big truck carrying the five trees and a skid steer in the morning, we've definitely got friends/experts in the right places. :) Eric deftly removed the trees from the truck, pronounced our holes 'perfect' and then we started placing the beauties. A Plum, two Apple Crisps, and a Pear went into the 'pool yard', creating additional barrier from the road and making a nice introduction from the arbor. The cherry tree was planted in the newly fenced backyard, eventually making a shady spot for Luca. When we were done we sat down to a well-deserved lunch - BBQ/Shredded chicken sandwiches, potato salad, and chocolate revel bars. We asked the trees to kindly GROW and give us some fruit. They are working on it.
