Part of the renovation required that a few bushes needed to be moved. While we had the backhoe seemed the best time to move them.
Bushes and trees are not something I'm willing to waste. So. We transplanted them.
We opted to plant them around the goose pond.
While we were transplanting them, we decided that the geese would like an expanded and deeper pond.
Instead of the two weeks of digging by shovel that it took Duncan last year, it was twenty minutes by backhoe.
Now it is a daily task to keep the bushes alive. This first year after transplanting is crucial to their survival.
The new and expanded pond was refilled and the boys decided to enjoy it before the geese soiled it.
It may have been a good idea to keep the geese in the corral until the boys were through.
The boys didn't seem to mind though.
The geese gave their inspection and seal of approval on the pond and left in search of a snack.
The boys lingered in the pond.
