Finally Making Headway

It is a good feeling to work in the yard.  I finally made time because I never had any to spare, to be able to work in the yard today.  With the help of my brother, We were able to scrape our yard to where there is not as big of lumps.  You see, we have had a mess in our yard since we have had to tear out our septic lines and run new ones.  I have a friend that is supposed to come towards the end of the week with his tractor and box blade to smooth it all out but My wonderful brother borrowed a backhoe this evening and we were able to really smooth things out and also burn some piles of rubbish that has been piling up.  Michelle seems to be satisfied.  Her statement tonight was “ there is hope”.  There is so much that needs to be done to this house but things are just too expensive it seems.  I would love to get our yard all straightened up and even plant some flower beds but we first need to paint the house.  Michelle has been really busy with the kids this summer but today, she even painted the front door.  It looks great.  I need to keep pushing myself to get some things done around here.  It does make one feel better about what you have.
