Almost Spring planting

We ordered 500 trees to be delivered in three batches on three successive weekends.  Yesterday we hosted a planting party.  Six of Paulette's generous and fun coworkers volunteered to help with the first batch.  Somehow, instead of 170 trees, we received 230 which was great because we had such a big crew.  We planted 160 western redcedars, 35 western hemlocks, and 35 Sitka spruce trees many in areas not previously planted.  It was rainy (perfect planting weather) while we worked, then dry for the party afterward.  Paulette made a couple of delicious lasagnas.  We christened our new firepit a repurposed dryer drum while enjoying some good old American macrobrews.
