This year was the perfect year to do something for my dad he couldn't do himself. He recently had a heartattck and a stent put in. He is on doctors orders not to put any strain on his heart. So this year for Father's Day we decided to dig out the grass around all the trees in their yard so they can put bark down. Dad has wanted this done since they moved in about 6 years ago. For those of you who don't know, my parents built a house in the orchard on the farm. Hence all the trees. We started out thinking every adult could dig around 2 trees and that would get about 30 trees done. Well I think they ended up doing around 50 or so trees with about 20 to go. I say "they" because I didn't do much digging, I did however help pick up and load the sod after it had been cut. Hopefully this will cut down on the yard work and keep it looking nice.

P.S. Thanks for the pics Brandi
