Since a big tree in our office side yard blew down one day, and even before that (we knew it was coming), the Landscaping Staff has wanted to add a new tree to grow in its place. We were lucky enough to procure a free magnolia tree from a nearby company, and today our staff planted it.

 

I especially love this series because of N.Lo’s outfit. N.Lo, I should mention, had A Day today. Cranky all morning, nap from 2PM to 4PM, awakened by coworker, not too happy about it, back to bed after a pants change (soaked), woken up at 5:30PM because it was Dinner TIme, and insisted on going back to bed at 7PM. Literally threw a fit, demanding that early bedtime. Must be growing.

 

So anyway, the tree.

We begin with some help digging.

 

 

 

Sit in the hole for a moment. Suggest planting a K.Lo Tree; employee declines. Plant actual tree instead.

 

 

Help fill in with dirt.

 

 

Some suspicious looks from N.Lo.

 

And… water!

 

 

Landscaping Staff proud. Management hoping for fast tree growth, but re: employee growth? Would appreciate a slowdown.
