Day 21 - yard work, again!

I love working in my yard; today I am thankful for the ability to work in my yard. We worked outside all day on Saturday. David and I pulled up the rest of the silt fence. I love driving the tractor. I like to think that my granddaddy would have been proud of me for driving it. The yard is looking so much better. David and Dad knocked down a bush that was blocking the old road. Before Lydell Drive was created, a dirt road basically passed through what is now my front yard. Since my granddaddy died almost 30 years ago, brush has taken over a lot of the creek and the woods. We are slowly making progress by clearing out the vines and briars. It has been great creating memories of turning my yard into a new creation.



Pulling up the silt fence - a tedious process as the fence and the stakes were 2 feet in the ground!

 While we were working on the fence, Hannah continued to build her fort. Hannah and Mom found an old picnic table top further down on Grandma's property. We don't know where it came from, but Hannah cleaned it off and is now using it for a bridge to cross the creek. She spent several hours playing while we were also playing. :)
