Project hedge removal

When we bought our new house, I told Ryan one of the first things that needed to go were the hedges in front of the house. They were enormous and all I have wanted since Ryan and I have been home owners is to have a porch where we can sit and enjoy the outdoors. He thought I was joking, but in due time I would have hooked my jeep up to them and yanked them out of the yard, but thank goodness he saved me from the trouble.


It looks so much better, but now I have to do some landscaping. Ryan seems to think if we keep the hedges trimmd back they will be ok, but I just want them gone. I have put my name on a waiting list for crushed clay tile peices, but that may be a lost cause for this year, so I guess I need to think about other options. I am still going to work on Ryan about just pulling the roots out.

Bobcat and Toyota are still with us and doing well. I really thought with 73 acres to run on and explore they would not hang out on my front porch all day. Cats....I really just do not get them, but Kade loves them and it is teaching him some responsibility.


Ryan has been farming. He has planted around 8 acres of corn and has cut hay and just cut some more today and is actually pulling a "Rodney" right now and is sleeping on the couch. Both of my boys are asleep right now and it is 6pm on Sunday.

The 4-H club completed their community service project on Monday. We planted fowers at the Ewington Church of Christ where we have our meetings. Below is a picture of the children that participated. They had a good time and the finished product was very nice.

Other good news for this week....my internet finally started working and even better than that, I have wireless internet too! Vinton has arrived!HAHA
