Week 46 - Oregon City -November 3 - November9, 2025

Gotta start out with a photo of the cats....wondering if it is time to get out of bed.

TUESDAY

Dad worked a lot on the augur borrowed from Gary Clark.   It had been retrieved from Gary's place where it was nestled in a blackberry bramble and all metal parts were severely rusted and other parts were clogged with mud.  After a lot of time in the barn, watching You tube videos, Dad actually freed all moving parts from rust and mud and had the augur hooked up to the Kubota and working!  

WEDNESDAY - I was shocked to get a text from Cohen Fish regarding the 150 Arborvitae,  5-ft trees we'd ordered. I thought they were coming next Wednesday!!  But their truck arrived, full of trees.

Cohen and Brian unloaded all of them and lined them up along the property line.

FRIDAY - we started first thing in the morning, and I think we planted 25 trees.

Ta-Dah!  Our first tree!

SATURDAY - we went to Tyler's final cross country track meet of the season.  It was held at the Western Oregon University campus.  It was fun!  Tyler did well for his first season!

Afterwards we went to a pizza place for some really tasty pizzas.

Saturday night, after Tyler's cross country meet, Warren and Whitney came and helped us plant a bunch of trees.  It was nice having their help - we were a lot faster with them.

 SUNDAY- in the afternoon, we planted more trees.  I think we did 15 trees.  When I count the empty nursery containers, I come up with a total of 55 planted Arbs!!!!
