Dirt, Logs, Trash Piles

Saturday we moved dirt and cleaned up around the new house. There was still a little patch of ridge that needed to be cut down. Not sure why we didn't do it in the beginning, I guess dad was trying to save the big tree on top of it. The drive way will go straight up and to Kev's shop instead of curving around. It will give us more room. Anyways... His dad volunteered to move the dirt if we rented the back hoe.

I don't have a before picture, but here is the after. Basically before it was almost impossible to walk on this side of the house. Now we can, except at the very front. We still have lots of dirt to add there. 

While Kev's dad did that, Kev and I cleaned up and stacked firewood.
This is the organized wood pile. Before it was a mound of trash and scrap wood. I sorted through and burned the trash and unusable wood and organized the good pieces. You never know when you might need a small board. I know they still have to build the form for the back porch and driveway and all the house form boards were in there.
We also stacked wood. My hamstrings hurt for two days! We did the front stack, the back one has been done for a few months. We still have enough wood piled up for another stack. Plus several more trees that need to come down. We are not in need of firewood!
The very dead poison ivy and brush! I even killed a tree. Oops!

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!!
