19810618 - Transplanting a tree

19810618 - I think my Dad never heard of child labor laws... Here I am at 10 years old transplanting a tree. I use to drive the tractors and do all sorts of dangerous stuff I wouldn't dream of letting Dylan attempt; but I survived, sort of, only emotional scares ;-)
Today there is a very tall row of trees where I am planting the one in the photo and you can not even see the filed behind it.
