Wow! I went to the Conservation District Native Plant Sale on Saturday and bought 75 evergreen trees plus Salal for ground cover and wild Nootka Roses. I bought Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, Noble Fir, and Shore Pine trees. It is now Monday, and they are ALL planted. I am sore all over and have dirt under my fingernails that won’t come out. But I am so happy!!!

I  wanted to buy some native Pacific Rhododendrons, my favorite flower. (Also the Washington State flower.) But they did not have any this year. I may go to a Native Plant Sale in another county to find some. 🙂

Salal is a beautiful native ground cover under the evergreens.

 

On Saturday morning I am going to the Native Plant Sale to buy a lot of seedling evergreen trees. I am so excited that I am already digging holes to plant them in. So far I have dug 46 holes for my new babies! I have a lot more places I want to dig and plant! I will watch this forest grow as I grow older. I hope to have lots of grandchildren to play in these woods!

 

These well drilling trucks arrived today to drill my new well!!! How wonderful it will be to have water!!!

UPDATE: Today, February 25, 2016, the well driller hit water at 261 feet deep! WHOO, HOO!!!
