Holding my breath!

  My Sweetheart told me when she was a kid that the family would hold their breath as they went over a bridge while traveling.....don't try this while driving! I am kind of holding mine because my trees are starting to bud out and we do not want a hard freeze! This could be a really great growing year! I planted 35 more today giving me a total of 80 trees in so far....I still have more to go but the Conservation Department must be behind, they are late in delivery?
   I also got a 32 minute run in giving me three in a row....I like the suggestions about running early on Sunday. I really appreciate you guys! I am going to try it!!! So I've run 7 out of the last 8 days at a minimum of 30 minutes. 70's tomorrow!!! Yes!!! I am really looking forward to warm weather! Peace!

My Babies

  You might remember that I planted around three hundred pine/deciduous saplings on my land back in '09. Here is a pic of the tallest one. I've also planted an additional 100 trees this year. Including both years I have five different species of pine, and 15 deciduous tree species. Have I told you I love trees?!
  Fooled around on the golf course today, took a walk this eve with my sweetheart, tomorrow will be a longish run as I conclude the final week in the strengthening phase. Peace!

Rest??

I have not been able to get back into a rhythm it seems. I am willing to take some time off from running?? This week it has been an every other day event. I really am needing to get these trees in the ground before they are no good. You have a two week deadline with seedlings, etc and I've one week down. Today, in the 80+ degree sunshine I put 54 in the ground!!!
I hope to run tomorrow, perhaps a longer one...yet I still have 201 trees to plant. Talked to a neighbor today. Really nice young man, four kids, is a nurse in the burn unit. His wife is a nurse, too, but she is currently a stay at home Mom. Good for her!!
Later! Peace!
