The Treehouse tree is stressed and needs water. I've been thinking about what to do for several days - 700-800 feet of garden hose and water it from the house?? Generator and pump and 200 feet of garden hose and water it from the pond??
Then after a work session there this morning and while having coffee at the Treehouse started talking it with Alex. He made a phone call while we were there to Cory of C.Miller Water Well's. It's about six hours later now and the tree has been REALLY watered. A gasoline powered water pump from the pond - water hoses the size of fire hoses and a volume of water coming out that could easily put out a big fire. There's probably an inch or two less water in the pond and were going to do it another 3-4 times before we have to return the equipment. But I'd rather have the water at the Treehouse than in the pond. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow!!

I'm so glad you were able to get that tree water. This summer has been so brutal, but losing that tree to stress/drought would be awful. :(
We can only hope we got to it soon enough. It will be a glad day next Spring if/when we see new growth on it.
