Here is the fence again. You can see our big roll in the back. I am standing near all the strawed area now with our house on my left. Mom - see the brown house? This is the house that was for sale last month. The kids wanted you to buy it so they could sing the song "over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house we go!" It is funny, because when the leaves come back out it will disappear!

You have to love a hatchet, they get the job done!

Hey dad - here is my tree! It does not look so big after I stripped off all the branches. But it is as tall as our house is long! Love ya! Joe

Here I am standing in the same spot looking at the back of our home. Look how much land we have cleared!!!!! Remember the picture of our shed - how the woods were right behind it???

This is a closer view of the fence. Our house is on the right - not in the picture.

Here is another shot of the narrow strip. We have cleared all the brush and smaller trees away. Fenced it off (see the small poles in the distance) the straw is covering grass seed.

Our house is on the right of the pool here. We are fencing in the entire back yard. This shows how narrow the muddy back yard is.

See how the woods close in right behind our shed? There is a quarter of an acre to clear!

Here is a few pictures of our old back yard. It was a thin muddy strip of land.
