Fall Tree Planting

Today we planted trees. We planted Maples, Ash and Elm back in the pasture. In the front we planted evergreens.

A little slave labor always helps:



Planting goes quick when brother Larry brings his big toys over.



Tree planting wouldn't be complete without also adding a rock!

ROCK BOTTOM BREWERY

Chad & Megan sent me a couple of souvenirs from Colorado. The "Deep Drought Stout" was my favorite. Thanks guys!!!

Philip's River Falls Church

This Sunday morning we went to Philip's church in River Falls. Kara and I got there a little early, waiting in the Narthex. A man came up and introduced himself; he was Philip's statistics prof, and knew Great Aunt Ann Dubbe (she was also a prof at UWRF). He had been to the football game on Saturday, and new all sorts of Philip's football friends. Here is a picture of Philip and Melissa at church.

Kara and I decided to do a late fall camping trip to Willow River State Park in Wisconsin. The campground is only a few miles from UWRF were Philip plays his last football game of the season. Philip and Mel came over for Friday night supper. (also includes a couple of pics from our trip in October)
