Easter Rocks my Socks

This weekend was one of the best ever. Not only did I get to go home and relax, I planted 247 trees! The best part was, that I thought planting trees was a total ball. I got to get really dirty, dig holes, cut roots, spread mulch, and do other sorts of “farmer” works. I learned a whole lot about trees, like, when to plant them, what time to plant, and what trees need more space than others. I learned all this from the famers and decided that I love Iowa farmers. They are hilarious, and love to tell you what to do, but in a good way. It is funny how quickly they get to know you too. They would not let me near any machinery, which bugged me at first, but then I thought about it. I love to explore and experiment, they could not have me do that with expensive machinery. This is funny, but I really wanted to drive the tractor.

I took lots and lots of pictures planting trees and even had some others steal my camera and take pictures of me. While digging in the dirt I found a worm. This worm was a total fatty, chowing down none stop on the dirt. I thought Cornelius was a respectable name for him. My reasoning is, how often is the name Cornelius used? Not very, and I am big on being different, so Cornelius King of the Dirt, it is. I am very excited about the tree planting because in a few years there will be a windbreak for my house. Therefore the wind won’t hit the back of my house like a freight train and rattle the windows. Also, I will be able to go in my backyard, and be in the woods (kind of) and not have to look at brown dirt in the spring, winter, and fall, that sort of thing or corn at all. Well directly behind my house anyway.

Other than tree planting I got to spend time with my dog, dad, and friends. I went to the barn and brushed my pony that is shedding like a Wildebeest, at least that is what I am going to call it, hair was everywhere! It was awesome.

I even got to rest up this weekend. I did not do any homework, on purpose. All my major stuff I did the week before and now I just need to edit it and realize how much I do not like it, and think about how I do not know how to change it. The usual. I am excited that it is Veishea. I initially had 4 tests this week, but can push 2 off to next week, I am so thrilled about that. Two tests this week two next week, seems like a good balance to me. Well, got to get cracking on that studying that I do. Happy Belated Easter y’all!
