The Trees are Down!

Dad and I started about 10:30 this morning moving around underbrush and trees. Kev joined once he finished working.




The driveway will come up where the tractor is standing. 
Pushing the underbrush and small limbs into one of the monstrous burn piles.
The house will sit right about here on the top of the ridge.
Monstrous burn pile #1. I told Kev we needed to wait for another chilly night and take the camping chairs over there and have a few drinks around the bonfire. Yes, I have a little bit of country girl in me.
Firewood!
A pile of Hickory for a friend. 

All I can say is that I am EXHAUSTED! Basically dad cut up the trees and I loaded them into the back of the truck, drove them to the firewood pile, and unloaded them. Anytime that I was left waiting was used to drag limbs and brush to the burn pile. I have a feeling I will be sore tomorrow. I made it out with only two bruises and I'm really hoping I don't get Poison Ivy. There were vines growing up a few of the trees. I tried to be careful and dad was making sure he pulled off what he could.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!
