April 6th, greeted by the snow-shoveller's annual carving up of the lawn. Doco decided this year to hire Ralph to put it back together as best he could, and then Rayan to add top-soil and grass seed. We'll see what it does by our return in mid-May.

| The restored "squirrel barn" looking glorious, rather like a bird … in spring you can see Chris's foundation rock-work … and Doco's windows (two done, one to come)! |
 |
| A line from me to Doco to the corner fence-post (behind his head) is the approximate western boundary of lot #1799. |
 |
| a sturdy tree fort, waiting for its inhabitants |
 |
| Doco's rescue of 6 rejected (by our fruit tree workshop leader) "Romance" cherry-tree whips … a new variety developed in Saskatchewan by a mad scientist … I'm doubtful that they will survive, but who knows? |

Doco and Ralph planting Linda Edwards' orphan oak tree … we HOPE it's in the right spot!
... as Doco says, "it can always be cut down"! |
April 13th and we're off, back to Vancouver.
I see... they did make a mess of the lawn. The ranch look glorious. One of these years we will get there in the spring!
