Have I mentioned how we have the best of friends? A few weeks ago our buddies came over to give us their grill because they got a new one, and to check out our fence that has come down between us and our neighbor's house. They are going to help us get it back up whenever schedules allow. They are the same friends who last year helped us get our ginormous dead tree down before it took out our roof. We were complaining about the jungle that is our backyard. Machelle said she would take a day when Kevin was working to come hang out and help us get it cleaned up. Today was that day. She came with power tools. We provided the chili and beer. And we all worked our butts off. Our backyard has never looked so good. We split wood from the ginormous tree that has been in the backyard for a year and now have another good stack of firewood for this winter. We still have a lot more wood to get through but thankfully we broke the sledgehammer, because my back couldn't have taken another swing. We pulled ivy until I couldn't stand up anymore, and chopped down I don't know what all that was growing back there. And we found two tiny snakes. The backyard is now pretty functional. I can tell the kids to go outside and not worry about them getting eaten by bears, or large cats.
I am not going to be able to move tomorrow...
