Today was my first day back on my feet after cold number 10,492. My reward for slogging through the day at work was to go do this. :-)

GPIP is participating in the replanting of the Paul Love garden here in Glastonbury; tonight we brought in six trees ranging from small to pretty respectable. In the "respectable" category were two Okami cherry trees, which due to our early hot spell, were in full bloom. Instant flowers!

All in all, a good evening's work.

Any day that ends with large power equipment is a good day

...And I only dug up *one* electric line!

Not energized yet, and not where it was supposed to be. Yeah, the conduit was "up against the stone wall" for values of "up against the stone wall" that include 8" out into the dirt! :-)

Well, in backhoe terms 8 inches is against the stone wall
