Getting into our work

Today, was the day we planted nine new fruit trees in the backyard. Henry, of course, desperately wanted to help. He helped me dig the holes on our little backhoe for a few minutes but quickly decided he wanted to be more hands-on. That meant he wanted to get inside the hole and finish digging with his hands. It turns out he is also an expert at spreading the bone meal and placing the trees and then packing the soil around them as well. Manning the water hose is definitely a favourite job as well. Working with Henry may not have made the job a whole lot faster but it DEFINITELY made it FUN!
