New Parking Area


I've given the kids an area of the yard everyday to rake and clean. Last week Kaleb asked if I would like a stump removed under the deck. He did it rather quick. So Saturday was a yard work day. He asked me where I wanted him to start right away in the morning. I mentioned the two stumps in the front yard. Well when he started this stump was just a small way out of the ground. It did not want to be removed! So after 5 hours of digging and cutting they decided to cut it and bury it. It did not even want to be cut. Steve said it was like cutting metal. Garrett and I had already started on the other one. Thankfully it had already started to rot so it came out with a little less resistance. So now we need to save some money (after getting a new renter who will pay the rent) to get a load or two of gravel and a fence extension and then we can will have an extended parking area! Yes, I will buy Kaleb a belt and shirt before buying the gravel. Garrett and Kaleb do not want any pats on the back for their hard work, they are both sunburned pretty bad. I kept Seth in the shade all day but for 30 min and his little face has a nice reddish glow even with lotion....Thank you to Lyle and Kathy W. for lending us their tractor! We would still be digging if we had not had it for the day.
