401 - GST and tree work May 30

Day 401 was a gorgeous day. The girls bustled off to school and me to work.

snapped this on way to work

At 12:30 I left work and ran a few errands,one checking concrete choices on my way home. I arrived at just 1 and got busy doing the dreaded GST. By 4:30 I was finally finished!!

many of our trees had deserted old nests but they look so cute. Stewart Farms is an eco-friendly tree farm and they wont sell and move trees with active nests. hmmm nice

Shaina drove home and Britt via the bus. Around 4:30 Brandon arrived & Sheldon and after some chatter. the girls and Brandon went out to ride and condition horses while Sheldon and I went out to do yard work.
Supper was ever delicious tacos and once finished at 7, Shaina and Brandon went to town for his lacrosse game. The evening was absolutely gorgeous, no wind or bugs, just wonderful sunshine. Britt brought the horses out to graze and took dogs for a walk while Sheldon and I finished the last of the trees straightening and watering then he worked at removing the north topsoil hill.
