So as I said , I am not much of a writer. The thoughts don't just come together in my mind in a way that can just be poured out onto paper. It has been a while since I posted, so here goes.

 Our yard is always changing. Since the last time I wrote it has been cleaned out leveled out and fenced in. It was very entertaining to watch. We had tons of wood in the yard from the tree removal so that seemed to be the first order of business. A guy with a Bobcat dug a big hole and piled the tree limbs and such into it. His plan was to have a large bonfire and get rid of the remnants. It was quite a site to see. He set the wood on fire and went back about his business. Well this man obviously doesnt't camp or have bonfires at home because his fire making skills were a little lacking. This first fire went out rather quickly as did his second, third and many other attempts. It was all I could do not to run down with some starter fluid, or dryer lint and give him a hand. Well, it was just way too entertaining to watch from my window and giggle so that's where I stayed. His second to last attempt was the most entertaining and spectacular of all. He rearanged the wood pile and had a big can of gas. He doused the wood with the gas and poured a trail of gas from the wood pile to a few feet away from the pile. He carefully leaned in and set the gas trail on fire. It trailed quickliy to the wood pile and set the whole thing into a blazing inferno. It really was something to see! Unfortunately it was a VERY short lived inferno. It was out in just a few minutes. I finally gave up and couldn't watch anymore and the next time I took a peek someone had gotten the fire going and all our tree remnants were burned to ashes. It's a completely different yard now. When we firtst moved in it was all shade and trees and now it's all sun. We are looking forward to getting sod in the back and whatever else is to come.
