Spring Tree Planting

The Toll Brothers brought with them 40 people to help us here at the Edwards Foundation for our Spring planting event. We were so happy to have them come and help us out. Here are a few of the pictures we took of the hard work that everyone put in.
 
Cliff from Harrison Nurseries works with volunteers from the Toll Brothers to get the holes ready for our trees.
New trees need top soil so the Toll Brothers helped us hauled us in.
 

The trees are delivered!
Planting the trees and laying the drip line.


Now before it was all said and done some of the volunteers from the Toll Brothers helped us in our own personal version of the Iron Man tire toss. The Edwards Foundation's Iron Man hay bale toss was a success. The men were able to get the bale all the way up into the barn!
Ready, Set....flip!
 
 

The finalists in the Edwards Iron Man!
 

Trees planted. Tolls Brother crew made it look easy, but it was a lot of hard work, sweat and mud.
 We would like to thank the Toll Brothers and their youth supervisors for their time and effort in our spring planting event.

Bunnies Forever

 
What lucky bunnies!  The Berndt family came to visit several weeks ago.  They fell in love with the bunnies.  They came on a cold weekend to bundle up the two bunnies and take them to their forever home.  Here Frances snuggles with Midnight. They may change her name to Delila.
Frances, her husband Jon and son Jacob and volunteer Ian help with the hutch.  Ian came at 7:30 to help get chores done.
 This dear mini Rex also gets snuggles from Frances.  She had him purring!
 All loaded and ready to go .
 The three cats Tuffy, Tom and Tiger worked up an appetite as they supervised the big move.  Guess who taught the bunny to purr!
We will keep you updated on our adopted animals.  We think the male bunny will be named Dusty Miller (also a silver grey flower).
