Spring has Sprung - Yardwork has Begun

Friday & Saturday were spent on YARD WORK -

(Tietjen enjoying some Poweraid - watching daddy work)


Friday - Jeff's classes were cancled - they have extra days, so the teacher waited for a good day to cancel (he goes shooting) -

We spent Friday morning at the Temple, than the rest of the day was digging out some roots from our pine tree stump - (sorry no pictures)

Saturday - I, transplanted grass from the backyard to the front - covering up our stump. (Why, you may ask did I just not buy grass seed - because we are poor and why not put forth a little effort)

Than after Jeff was done with work - he cut down some of the Lilac Tree - which is half dead - and sending out shoots all over our lawn - it has taken us 4 years to figure out which tree has been doing this -

Down came some limbs







Than we shared rental of a rotatiller - we changed spots of our garden - the orginal one had to much shade from a neighbors tree - (Jeff already cut a bunch of limbs off their tree, last year)

All in all - we are tired, sore, and Jeff has two blisters, because the batteries on his "saw-zall" ran down so he used our hatched to get two of the three roots out .
Thanks honey for all your hard work!!
