Today, October 6, 2007 we had another tree planting session Many volunteers showed up to plant an approximately 1 hectare (2 1/2 acres) field. Becky, Betsy, Michele and Tim, Omar and Oscar Munoz, and our daughter Toni and son-in-law Duane Hinkle, who are visiting from Oregon. We started at 7 am and were all finished planting close to 300 seedlings by 9:30 am. It was a very hot day, but looks like we will have a nice rain this afternoon so the babies will have a good drink.
Everyone posed for this last shot when we were all done, then Toni and Duane made Margaritas for all of us. WHEW!! They really hit the spot, but we all felt a little guilty about the hour. Toni said, "don't worry, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world, right?"
Thanks to all of you who helped get that field planted today and to Toni and Duane for the family support and the GREAT Margaritas.
We will be sure to post more photos on the website this coming year of these 2 planting day fields (Environment Day and today) so that you can all see the progress of the baby trees. And remember to click on the photos if you want to see them enlarged.
But in the meantime, everyone else.....
LET'S GET PLANTING!!
