Spring means rain…

14 May

Rain is good. It is good for the plants and it greens the grass. But for us – it makes muck. And it makes for machines to get stuck in that muck. And it makes my white dog Monty brown and smelling like wet dog. Eeewh. But things are blooming and spring is trying to come out. The trees are about 3 weeks behind. I was tagging a Weeping Nootka Cypress tree with a customer the other day and as I was putting the ribbon on we spotted a nest with beautiful blue eggs in it. They have since hatched but I have yet to get a picture of the babies…momma bird is a little protective. The digging goes on and next week we start planting. Looks like a lot of the Maples have been dug. We dug a large 60 foot Beech tree the other day (I have yet to download the pictures), and trucked it down the road to our new location. It is always remarkable to see those big trees in the air. The Magnolias are blooming now and I have started documenting the move…here are a few pictures from last week and I will get some more downloaded from this week.
