We went with the John Deer mower (it is what I learned how to drive on when I was 12) and good old Pop went along for the ride and provided the back of his truck for transport.
Jesse's painting skills on our kitchen means a new purple front door! And new white closet doors instead of awful green trials-gone-wrong.
One side of the barn became the start of an herb garden, with a nice little stone border made of stones Jesse found while sawing down the small trees near the brook...
...the beginning of our continuing lawn! With two saved trees, one with a little nest in it. It sort of reminds me of 'The Lorax' which I read to my firsties when we were learning about the importance of trees...but we have plenty! So I don't feel too horrible. And we left the little nest :)
Our newly mowed lawn! We only did the front and half a side, and now it's rainy but it was great. Nothing runs like a deer. Ha. Ok I'll stop there.
Newly-mowed :)
My next outside project is to take down the prickers etc. from the front of the barn. I started it last weekend, and got completely scratched up in spite of my great gloves that I figured would protect me from any pricker. My hands are fine, but next time I'm not wearing cut-offs and a tank top. I started on the left side, and want to clear it all so you can see the little stone wall that goes down to the side and the little herb garden to-be.
