I got shanghied (volunteered) to play Gunga Din. I hauled 20 gallons
for each tree. In this heat with no rain the ground is bone dry. Now
I'm hoping for a good long drenching rain, otherwise I'll be hauling
more water. The sky looks very threatening here but there are no
gaurantees with weather. I'm very pleased with how everything
turned out... there is really no way to know how new trees will look
in the landscape until they're actually in the ground, I think they
look great. Now they need to grow.
