It's been a while but we've had a couple of new developments since our last posting. First, we inherited a sweet lawn tractor from (Great) Grandpa Henderson. We never knew how much fun mowing a lawn could be! We also never knew how long mowing a lawn could take. With the acquisition of the mower, we've been able to keep the lawn nice and neat. We also spent a load of energy pulling 3-7 foot weeds out of the sandy ditch that will one day be our culvert. It is kind of cool to drive through this undeveloped neighborhood and see the lots of weeds and then our maintained area. Also makes it easy for people to see which one is ours!
Our second feat was the building of the fire pit!
We have a lot of branches that we can use as firewood and we thought, as the weather turns cooler, it would be fun to have a place we can go and roast dogs or marshmallows. Plus, who doesn't like to burn stuff.? It took very little time to do and we're excited to have our first fire!
We put it near the back right corner of the lot in a very flat open area that won't be disturbed once building begins. It is near the creek which flows along our back property line so we'll have to make sure we're covered in deet before spending the evening out there, but it seemed like the best place to put it. Karen had a blast but Greg did most of the work...
Visitors welcome!
