Heave ho

One of the many gifts the previous owner left us was random pieces of rebar in the yard and deep holes scattered about.  They had Pit Bulls, and a lot of them from what I hear.  They liked digging... my only guess. But alas it is our job to work it out.  So Chris ever so kindly volunteered to remove them... they were humorously deep... after he got the piece of rebar out there were legitimately multiple holes around the yard where Chris can actually disappear up past his knees... 

I still can't figure out what needs to have rebar dug that deep?   It wasn't a base of a building.

Jungle of Dandelions

So often I am telling you what to do and if you are anything like me when I see someone constantly doing things I wonder do they just have everything handled?  Well this is to both assure that is not true and to show the humor that is my yard.



My husband and I had a riding lawn mower that we bought used.  I worked once and died.  We have been cautious of buying another since.  We don't like buying things new if we can help it both for the cost but for the mark up... to each their own (I was not at all well off growing up so when it can be gotten used and run as well as new, I am all for it).  But unfortunately for our neighbors (who are very sweet) it took till now for us to come to a decision about what to do... and so our yard is a jungle of dandelions.  So now it is off to cutting the jungle...
