Down the road

and after work came a 25 foot oak tree. Trundling down the road laid out in the back of Our Johns truck.  An hours drive with a big beautiful tree trailing out behind him.

It was in the way of the new pipes pathway at the site and the council men were going to yank it out and chip it so John said: That’s a nice young oak tree, yank it out and put it in the back of my truck. 

So they did. It is feeling a bit sad but hopefully will come right.

Now, that is going to be a mighty big hole to dig. 

Thankfully this is not my department.

Once we had the tree  out of the truck and covered in wet straw and wet burlap bags  and tucked up in a tarp so it did not lose anymore soil, it began to rain. Pour actually. Hard. Of course. 

Alissa and her cat Loki have arrived  and are ensconced in the coop.  She has set her hammock up in the sleeping porch and I think we are all going to work very well together. Her cat is her constant companion and will live in the coop like a city cat in the country.

Today we will be weeding the lambs-quarters garden.  With all this rain they are going to be my best crop!

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Love celi
