Memorial Day

It started at 8am with cleanin cleanin cleanin up the yard. Spencer weed-whacked all the spots on the property that couldn't be mowed (a lot) and chase and I moved trash from piles of trash and storage stuff from our garage down to grandmothers. and trash up into our garage. There is now a big dump pile and all the other building materials are stored downstairs. I did some raking and dad did some leaf relocating. It was pretty fun. The fact that it's been raining and thunderstorming for the past week+ helps add to the thrill of cleanup. All the cardboard was fantastically soggy. All the building pallates were covered in spiders. I told them that was the job I could not do. Chase did a few and then Dad took care of the rest. Dad got a little too into his Rodney Atkins and took a slip in the mud. He didn't skip a beat and kept on sawin! Spencer was 'magically delicious' (mom's words) by the end of the workin day! Came across a snake during cleanup! Tractor Time! Later in the evening we had a fabulous barbecue with the Widmans, Sherwoods and Raymonds. It was so fun! The fabulou spread! Mom worked hard to get the inside of the house all spick and span. Her and Grandmother also slaved over the fabulous food provided! I was so tired from that morning/afternoons work, but even after I got in bed at 12:30 I still wanted to read my fabulous book, I hadn't realized how tired I was utill I woke up later with the crease of the book squishing my nose. xoxo
