I was - lifting properly and wearing clothes!   I used to be a CNA so I know how to properly lift and I'm down-right religious about it. Actually, that ended up not being the hard part though. See, the guys who pulled my old tree out told me they tried to get all the big roots out. Now, I'm not sure what their definition of a big root is, but well, there were a LOT of big roots there when I was digging out the new hole...  But, after using some loppers and getting all dirty, I finally got a good size hold dug out - not quite as large as I'd read to dig (4 TIMES the width of the root ball... hello?), but big enough...  . Then I used my handy-dandy hand cart and hauled the tree out front, had some fun getting it out of the plastic container it was in but finally did my best "lift with your legs" lift and plopped it in the hole.
It's going to be so pretty!
And I think I need a shower...

Whoa, Phosy, that's a nice size tree!
I'm going to get a redbud. If the landscaping guy ever comes back.

That's why my daddy had to pick it up... I didn't think it would fit in my little Chevy Prism...
You have that spatial awareness thing down, don't you?

Don't worry. I was just being completely stupid over that TV programme, "Big Brother". Just ignore me.
Have a good ride, Kirstin.

And I'll miss you all over the weekend (unless I get a chance to post on my uncle's computer, I probably won't be posting... I don't have a laptop... 
)...
