A while back the people at plant-a-tree-today approached us with an offer to supply and help plant 500 plus trees. Thanks to the sponsors at XL Results Foundation, PATT and the XL Foundation the trees arrived yesterday and we put them in the ground this morning with the help of volunteers from the organizations, their children and a whole lot of our kids.
50 kids, hot sun, and hard work...a sure recipe for disaster. I thought at the start of this it would be really tough, but in a couple of years it would be worth it to have hundreds of beautiful trees. Shockingly, our kids were great as were the volunteers. In a little over 2 hours we were basically finished. It was a great experience and relatively painless... a really nice surprise.
