For the last four years I have lived in a Two Bedroom apartment in Delaware. Where all of my yard work is nicely done by a group of guys and I don't have to worry about. There is an upside of this and a down. The up, I haven't had to do yard work for the last four years. The down, I have desperately missed it, I use to enjoy going to my Pop-pop's house and helping him with his yard work. Well now that we are living with Diana's mom, I get to enjoy my Yard Work again and today was my Welcome Back Party.
First, we had to rip out the tarp from a no longer treat, complete disgusting, pond that was dug in the middle circle of their driveway. The Driveway makes a big circle in the front yard with right in the center an inner circle of grass and bushes and this pond. So we rip the tarp out and remove all the rocks from with the hole that were holding the tarp down. Then we begin to shovel in the dirty, but thankfully after 45 minute of trying to fill this hole. A buddy of my brother in law's calls and says he will bring his tractor down. So after digging up a Japanese Maple and a Rose Bush, the tractor has at it and makes do, with what was taking us forever, in two minutes. We already replanted the Japanese Maple and now tomorrow we must put fill dirt in the center, level it out, and planet a beautiful Sugar Maple in the middle. She then wants to put little white pea stones in the middle to fill it out....
I don't agree with the last part but hey it isn't my house, so I will go along with what is said.

I don't miss yard work at all. Or any work for that matter! ;)
