Erin, Brad and Barry dug many vine maples from Barry and Susan's land at North Bend yesterday.  Today they were planted at Grace Lane.  Their new home is surrounding our pond and providing us privacy to the east.   One group of maples was a line of small developing trees along a fallen branch -- perfect for screening.   By the time we were finished planting it was almost dark so the first view in the morning will be of our new trees.  The anticipation is a little Christmas-like.  

 Brad and Erin moved a couple of large rocks into place near the stream too.  There are three more rocks to place and then I can go back to work on finishing up the edges of the stream and pond.
