MRI and Gardening

This morning was my MRI; we turned into more fun than that and went to Tractor Supply for grass seed and a new spreader and Lowe's for fruit trees. We got four apple trees, two Granny Smith and two Gala, two peach trees and two pecan trees. I have also designated space for two pear trees, but Lowe's was out of them. Rumor is that Wal-Mart has them, so we'll buy them there if we still have any energy after planting these. It isn't really that tough with the back-hoe compared to the lady we met in Lowe's who's husband was hand digging them; they are pretty big root balls!

Tomorrow is supposed to be clear, so it is possible that I'll be riding around and around in circles spreading grass seed for the 5th or 6th year in a row. In the beginning, we spread with a spreader pulled by the 4-wheeler. Last year, I did it with the push spreader since the 4-wheeler was broken. This year, we are pulling a new spreader with the riding mower. Every year I hope that this will be our banner grass growing year! I also have to clip all the guinea's wings and attempt to keep them in the chicken fence for a while since they will just eat all the fresh grass-seed before it has a moment to grow. They actually recently stuffed themselves in the left-over grass seed bag in the barn and ate 25 pounds of grass seed!

Here's proof that I actually was in D.C. with JD and the kids last weekend -

It's supposed to dip into the 20's tonight - not exactly the spring weather that we were blessed with in D.C. last week.
