Baby Trees

While we were working in the garden last Saturday we found a handful of baby trees. Blase and I carefully dug them up and stored them in a container of water until we could get around to planting them. Blase is determined to grow them.

All was going just fine until Monday. A stinkin' little chipmunk managed to get itself stuck in the garage on Sunday. The garage door was open and it thought it should stay for a visit. Poor little thing was hungry so he helped himself to one of our acorns. I suppose that was incentive enough to get them planted.
Here is picture of one of the trees. It has also been a great science lesson. Especially since we studied Botany last school year.
First Blase placed the tree in the container.
Added some more soil...
Water the thirsty babies...
And watch them grow.......
