The time change makes both Jilda and me cranky. I can't wait to read what our blog buddy Joe has to say about it...but I digress.
I had work to do, and I got at it after coffee. Back during the fall, I Bought some laying Boxes from Tractor Supply. They were constructed of pressboard and held together with staples. I knew better, but I didn't have all the tools and supplies to build them myself, so at a weak moment, I bought three.
If I had written a check, the boxes would have fallen apart before the check cleared.
I finally saved up and bought the tools and supplies I needed, so this morning I built Laying Boxes that will be here a while.
On Friday we bought trees. In the truck as we drove home were redbuds, sweet shrubs, holly, plum, pawpaw, sourwood, fringe tree, and more. Today was planting day.
I dug holes with the posthole diggers, and Jilda hauled buckets of water all over the property. It will take a few years for them to start showing out, but had we not planted them, they never would have.
I ran out of time before adding hive boxes to the four hives, but I did spend time in the honey house getting everything ready so that I can add the boxes tomorrow weather permitting.
This evening my bones are weary.
