Day 14 - posted late

Today I am thankful for yard work. I had so much fun working in my yard this weekend. I was busily cleaning my house on Saturday morning when I saw my dad come down my driveway on the blue tractor. I came outside to see what he was doing - he was clearing the brush out from my front yard. The land where we built our house used to be a field. There is a creek that serves as the boundary for the property. Over the years, it has become overgrown with brush - vines, briars, weeds, ivy. We started clearing the yard mid-morning. At 5:45 when we finally stopped, we had cleared off at least 20 more feet for the yard. David worked on pulling up the silt fence from the construction of the house. Thankfully the tractor was a tremendous help. Actually, rephrase that, my parents, especially my dad, were a tremendous help. Doing yard work was a great family activity and we had so much fun together, especially when I got to drive the tractor. :)
