Thank you John
A couple of years after we moved in out here I noticed a rock hidden in the weeds out near the pond at the side and back of the property. I’d walk out every once in a while and try to figure out how to bring it up to the top of the driveway. I knew the garden tractor couldn’t move it. Also I had no way to drag it up with the pickup, nor the money to have it moved. I grew resigned to the fact that my rock would spend the rest of my life buried in weeds behind the bushes out back.
I had asked my neighbor’s hubby John how much he would charge me to bring the rock up front. He never really gave me an answer so I figured he didn’t want to waste his time and equipment to move it for me. Then today he asked to see the rock and said he would move it soon.
Later today I heard the equipment lumbering up the back driveway and sure enough in the claw was my rock . He placed it at the head of the driveway for me and another wish was accomplished. Thank you John.
A Paw Over My Eyes!
Between the tree planting, getting the old Troy Built Rototiller out front for a couple of days for sale, and walking up and down the hill around here I’ve run out of steam. I still have an umbrella table and chairs to bring up to the deck. I have to find the Hummingbird and Oriole feeders and get them ready to hang in the tree. A pile of lawn decorations that I pulled from the shed have to be set up in the gardens around the house after I rake. There are twigs and branches to pick up around the property and my goodness I feel like Molly right now! I’d like to stretch out in the sunshine and put my paw over my eyes and sleep!
