Spring is here and we are trying to get our backyard ready! We have a nice large backyard and can grow thousands of pounds of produce, but for some reason we can not grow grass!! We just cant do it...it just dies! SO, we are trying it once again!! We bought 12 tons of nice compost and had it delivered (which of course a large pile of dirt is strictly for climbing and sliding!)
Then Bryan decided that we needed to rid the back yard of a few trees!
Now to pick up the tree! Which of course is the most fun part for Henry and Addie!! (dont worry everyone...they are fastened in quite tightly!)
Oh and while we are at it we might as well get a shed delivered! This shed was at my grandpas house and they didnt need it anymore and it was basically going to get thrown away...so we had it moved here to be our new milking barn and a place to store all our animal feed and hay :)
How awesome is this little machine!!
Ummm ya its a tight fit!!! The shed is 10'4" and the opening on our side gate (WITH the gate and hinges taken off) is 10'5"...but this guy sure wasnt scared to try!
Yep, that tight!
PULL BRYAN PULL!!!
Ok, now lets trim some more trees!
Dont look kids...daddy and Mr Paul arent being very safe.
Now lets rearrange the yard while we are at it...chicken coop is moved to the back to make room for our new shed :)
Now to leveling out the yard again and spreading the compost evenly.
Oh boy...what a weekend! We have ALOT more work to do but this is a good start ;) Ill definitely keep you posted on our progress! But now we are under a ton of rainfall so it is quite the mud pit back there!! But we are EXCITED!!!!
Ok so this is perfect timing b/c tonight at the missions sharing at church, ben franks made a joke about the Hannaford homestead and how amazing it was that you guys did all that stuff. Everyone there laughed but i laughed the loudest:). I will have to remember the exact quote...you guys are legends! And this proves why:)
