OUR FIRST YEAR WAS SUCH A MESS, EVERYTHING WAS SO UNORGANIZED.  MIKE'S SISTER (DEE) AND MOM (ADELE) DROVE FROM SASKATCHEWAN TO HELP US. DEE AND HER SON PATTON  HELPED TO SAVE THE WEEKEND!  THANK YOU. 

OUR 2 AWESOME LEAD HANDS  

LINLEE AND AREN!  WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR BACK-BREAKING WORK YEAR AFTER YEAR.  OUR TREES ARE PLANTED IN FIBRE BAGS SO IT MAKES THE PROCESS VERY LABOUR INTENSIVE. THANKFULLY EACH YEAR MIKE DEVISES A BETTER PLAN THAT HAS MADE THE PLANTING A LITTLE EASIER.  YOU BOTH ARE ROCK STARS.

 THANK YOU GIRLS FOR COMING YEAR AFTER YEAR.  BESIDES HELPING WITH PLANTING, THEY HAVE ALSO HELPED UNLOAD THE TREES FROM THE TRANSPORT TRUCK, TAGGING THE TREES, PUTTING UP SNOW FENCE AND STAKING THE TREES! ONE YEAR THEY EVEN BROUGHT OUR GRANDSON TO HELP.

OUR BELOVED SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW. THEY HAVE COME YEAR AFTER YEAR SPENDING LONG DAYS OUT IN THE FIELD HELPING PLANT. BRENDA ORGANIZES THE TREES, TAGS THEM AND MAKES SURE THE ROOTS ARE WET AND PROPERLY PRUNED.  A BIG WEIGHT OFF OF MY SHOULDERS. THANK YOU!

 THE # 1 LADY EVERYONE LOVES!  MY FRIEND SHARON. SHE IS OUR DESIGNATED COOK AND BOTTLE WASHER!  WHAT A HUGE WEIGHT THIS WAS OFF OF MY SHOULDERS!!  SHE PREPARES OUR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND SUPPERS.  SHE EVEN MAKES AN APPEARANCE OUT TO THE FIELD TO TAKE SOME PICTURES. THANK YOU SHARON.

OUR NEWEST ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY IS MY FRIEND MARY. SHE HELPS OUT WHEREVER IS NEEDED AND THEN RETURNS ALL SUMMER TO HELP ME WITH WEEDING, STAKING AND HER FAVORITE TASK;  ROCK PICKING. IF I COULD FIND 2 MORE MARY'S THE REST OF MY SUMMER WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER!  THANK YOU MARY.
