We spent most of Sunday afternoon at the Three Birds Berry Farm. This is a local farm that grows blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc. All are u-pick and this is a popular summer time activity for lots of people in the NRV. In the fall and winter the owners have volunteer days to help around the farm to earn credits towards berries in the summer. So we went out and helped mulch and build a new barn. We have lots of pics of the barn building, but really we lined up and dug the post holes. Each one needs to be 4ft deep... thats a deep hole. We didn't finish up but got a good start.
Here you can see us starting the barn post digging.
Luckily, Amalia and Camilo were up for the job. The owner has a daughter, Lilly, who is Amalia's age and was a helper too.
Camilo's first job was gathering his shovels.
He kept one shovel for himself and shared the other with Lilly. Amalia was the master of the post-hole digger.
By this point my back was wrecked... apparently sitting in front of a computer all day is not good training for post-hole digging.
Big helper!
Some dirt ended up on his face and clothes.
Very proud of this dirt clod.
Contemplating the actual depth of a 4ft post-hole.
Now this is a perfect dirt clod!
You might notice the butterfly on her cheek from attending BugFest the day before.
Now thats a deep hole!
Yup!
