Nursery Run

[xp_cyclops]

I will be heading into town tomorrow to pick up some more trees. It'll shouldn't be a long trip, perhaps an hour total.

I am also making arrangements for some targets to be sent here. Perhaps they can be used for target practice instead of trees in the future? At least until we let the new ones grow up a bit.

If anyone is interested in coming along, just let me know.

I'll be at the skatepark in the late morning/early afternoon and then I see Betsy for a bit, but if you'd like help before our class to plant the things, I'll be glad to pitch in.

Thanks! I was hoping to ask Ororo as well. I'm not the best gardener; I could use the help.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Better ask Ororo.

I can be a good gardening minion and chuck dirt where you tell me to, and that's about it for me, sadly. Last time I had anything to do with gardening, I was... five. I think.

I don't know if this would be feasible, but I was wondering if I could come along? Or if I could work with you on some kind of targeting later on? At some point I'm going to strobe light around someone who can do energy projection and I'll want to know what to do.

We should use something besides trees. Everybody likes trees.

Yes, something besides trees would be good. I'm getting the targets from an archery catalog, they should be here by the middle of the week. Fortunately, I can order in bulk. When they get here, we can try practicing with ... you call it strobe lighting? ... your gaining energy projection powers. We can at least talk about it tomorrow, if you're willing to help Ms. Blaire and I with the planting.

And you are definitely welcome to come with me, Everett. Do you know anything about trees or gardening? I've been told to get some hard woods, elm or maple or oak, I think. But I don't have much of a green thumb, I'm afraid.

I can come after the skate park as well. So I can help carry? If you do not need me I would like to help plant them.. I like trees.

[x-synch.livejournal.com]

I'd like to come along, sir. I helped my parents plant things a couple times. And my Aunt Joan made me memorize a bunch of things about flowers, but I forgot them.

I don't know what else to call the strobe light.

I think we may go to get the trees at the same time you all are at the park. But they have people to help load them into the truck, so maybe we'll wait to unload them when you get back. Then we can move them to their new location.

Sound feasible?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You can get bigger trees now. ;)

[x-piotr.livejournal.com]

Sure Scott.. thanks. :)

I'm not going to the skate park, sir, so if you could still use an extra hand I'll be happy to help.

Four extra hands, even, if it's all right to pretend I'm twins.

I've managed to catch up on my paperwork and I'm not really up to going to the skatepark, so if you don't mind the company. I'm free for most of tomorrow.

My good conscience can't let you do all this work when I'm partly responsible. Besides, I'm a fairly decent gardener, so with your help, the grounds should be as good as new. If you accept the offer.

I think you've already left, but I'd be happy to help with the planing when you get back... or does the nursury do that?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I'd love the help, Betsy. Even a "fairly decent gardener" is loads better than me, and I'm certain you're not giving yourself enough credit.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

By all means. Four hands are better than two, especially when lifting and carrying.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

We're just bringing back the plants, so all the putting in the ground will be done by us. If you want to help, I'll put in a call for you when we get back.

Think you can make sure we won't be digging into any power lines or water pipes?

Ok, cool.

And not a problem. I can get the schematics of the grounds off the server downstairs.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have noticed. :) OK, just make sure you call the me in the blue shirt Jamie and the me in the green shirt Skippy, then.

Probably not, but I'd love the opportunity to get my hands dirty again. Hope you're a quick study.
