Eating dirt

and I mean that literally. 170 done today and only 644 left. Not as many as Saturday but these were planted while running to town three different times. Sadly, I'm sure I spent a lot in gas too. Katanya had a doctor's appointment to check her iron level since the last couple months she has been very low. Poor little girl had to take Fer-in-Sol. If you ever want to taste metal, try this. You will taste bolts for hours! I tried to hide it in juice and such but it didn't work. Finally we were able to take one out of the two dosings a day out and replace it with a multi-vitamin. She is finally at a good level. The girls also had dentist appointments to fill their cavities. This left funny smiles and a very unhappy Kirsten. Back to the trees.....I learned a few things today in this land of dust and dirt.

1. Just how bad blowing dirt hurts on a badly burned neck and back.
2. Not to chew gum while planting trees....in the wind and dirt.
3. Just how messy hair can get in the wind and dirt. It felt so gross.
4. How much dirt can get in your eyes, nose, and ears. Ewwww!
