It Took Some Green to Start to Level Out This Yard...

Here is the view towards the parlor before we started working. You can see the overgrown dirt pile and the weeds in front of the parlor window.

I started messing with this tree stump and realized it was quite loose. Seth got involved after we had gotten it loose all around the base and pushed it out!

As you can see, he was quite proud of the size of the stump.

Here's the green-John Deere Green, not money! We love the Kemner's, not just for this kind of stuff, but they sure are willing to help out whenever they can. Bailey and Teddy took turns riding in the tractor while they worked.

You can just barely see Teddy sitting in the jump seat here. He loves the tractors!

Here the after shot. We cleared out all the bushes in front of the window and Bill knocked down all the dirt. There are tons of broken pieces of plates and-you will never guess-broken pieces of bricks everywhere in the dirt. We will pick up pieces of stuff for a while while we do the detail leveling, but it looks so much better!

Here is the dining room side dirt pile before.

During...

Woops...A little out of order...but Teddy and Bailey in front of the parlor window...

Here is an after shot of the dining room pile all gone! We finished up with a dinner of chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, fresh tomatoes...yummy!
