Planting trees

When I awoke early this morning, it was to the sound of dripping. At first I thought it was a tap or possibly a leaking tap, but a look out the window revealed all the ice and frost that has been our lot for the past couple of weeks was disappearing fast.

That had me up, dressed and out the door in a flash, because a thaw meant the ground could be worked and if the ground could be worked, then I could be planting some of our new trees.

Of course, all the chores and breakfast had to come first but they were pushed through in good time, leaving the rest of the morning free for planting.
