Under Construction

{The boys, dreaming of a new backyard to play in}

Preston made the executive decision to dig up our backyard and start over. We never set foot back there because it was filled with large softball-sized clumps under the grass that caused you to trip, fall and twist your ankle. The garden failed because we had clay for soil. We had a lousy excuse for a deck that was covered by a bee-filled tree and gave you splinters. We want to be able to let our kids play back there, plant a successful garden, enjoy a book or conversation on the deck and soak up the sun, so we're on our way...

The construction site makes for endless entertainment for the boys.
They stand at the window and stare in amazement.
It's great fun now, and I hope it will be great fun when it's all done!

Moles....the clumps are probably caused by moles. We have the same problem in parts of our yard. Maybe the big digger will scare them away!
