Apple Trees

Today
I'm
planting
apple trees!


















With
the price
of
gas...

















...and
foods
skyrocketing...

we
will
love...

...growing
our own
food!

You
don't get
more
local
than that!

Besides
there's
nothing
sweeter...

than the
smell
of
apple blossoms
in the spring!

So
I grab
my
shovel....

and
my
gloves...

load up
the
wheelbarrow...

...and
head out
to
the field!

Of course,
I have
help.

Digging
the
hole...

Setting
the
tree...

Thank-
you,
Koda!

Go
help
your
Dad.

He's
battling
the evil
buckthorns!

They've
invaded
our land...

with
dastardly
dagger-adorned
branches.

Tom
cuts...

I plant...

...and
the dogs
get
in
the way!

Koda
finds an
old bone
to chew.

Marshall
goes
exploring.
















I'm
finishing
my
tree planting

watering
my new
apple
trees....

What's
she got
now?














Oh,
Marshall!

Koda
just
watches
with envy.

It's okay,
Koda

We
love

you!

We leave

the 

labels on.

(So I can

remember

what I 

planted)

Cut

the 

base 

cords.

And leave

our 

new 

apple 

trees...

to 

grow

skyward!

Time

for

a 

drink!

and

a

drink...

and

a 

nap!
