Backyard Fun

We finally got the new zip line going and boy, is it fast (if you are Dylan). It will even hold me for about 10 feet. Much bigger pole, deeper hole and tighter cable. Much better!

Also, forgot to mention the awesome time we had last Saturday with our fire pit. We gathered a bunch of big rocks from the empty lot and made a nice fire pit ring in the backyard. We had fun roasting marshmellows and I got the guitar out for a few Neil Young tunes, it was nice and mellow. My sister, Amy, joined us as did Calvin from next door. The boys were very impressed we could have a fire in the backyard. Don't worry we moved that fire pit you see in the Zip Line video. Now, it's no longer in the path waiting for someone to fall on the rocks.

Worked on the front yard, flower bed and tree bed were built up and fortified. Nice set of pansies planted too. It's looking better each day. I still have to build my rose bed for the 3 roses I got from Uncle Harold. Hoping to get the lumber for that in about 2 weeks. The cedar trees are looking good in the back along the fence, need more of those for sure.

Well, we are going to watch Madagascar 2 with the boys. Gotta run!

See ya!
