Saturday

Ahhh, Saturday. That favorite day of the week when you finally get to sit back and relax a little. Oh wait. I must have that confused with some other day of the week. In the 15 minutes of semi-sunshine that presented itself today, we tried to do a little yard work.Because after all, "the family that works together.... fights a lot about who's doing the most work." (At least I think that's how the saying goes.)
We really did accomplish quite a bit in the front yard, even if the kids are still not totally sold on the idea that everyone needs to help to get things done.
We had a little help from our neighbor, Ryan Robinson, in pulling out a bush. I think we may need to get us one of those. There are a whole lot more trees and bushes I would like to see go. It's all in the 10 year yard plan, which unfortunately, is always still 10 years out.
Eventually, it became a race against the rain. The rain won, but we did get the front gardens all cleared out.

I know all about "diggers", but our yard was much more of a "start-over" project. Didn't use the backhoe to remove the stump, since the gas line is right through it!
