Serious yard work



Jeff and I LOVE our yard for about a month in the spring. The rest of the time, it's just too much to handle.




So the other day we hired my friend and his bobcat to take out our nasty shed and all the beds in the back yard. Here you can see him taking down the shed.




What we didn't know was that our shed was home to this little guy.


After the first wave of demolition, he came scurrying out, but didn't leave the rubble. It was very scary. I was afraid we'd find possum parts. But soon we saw him up a nearby tree where he stayed all day and watched us take his house down. Poor little fella.

We spent the next day laying seed and straw. And this morning we had a nice rain, so hopefully we'll soon have a nice low maintainance lawn.

Your yard pics are lovely. The possum looks so sad though, watching his home go down.
