Community Tree Planting!

And it couldn’t have been a more perfect morning for it; well, I suppose it could have been more perfect; I mean if someone dropped by and distributed bags of money, or Beansies set up and gave away free breakfast burritos,  or the National Tuba Corps came and serenaded, or no, what? well, maybe the Taiko Drummers, or Phish? We did have a pileated woodpecker sounding bird. But anyway, great fun, and all got done …with many hands.
