first dirt of the new year

The backhoe moved in, he pulled up a chair, grabbed the latest Lego catalog and had himself a perfect afternoon.

New plumbing…doesn’t that sound like fun? However, the ditch and all the dirt were a big hit. It has been too long since we’ve had a good pile of dirt around here. Don’t worry…it was ‘clean’ water.

I introduced her to a balance beam over a ditch. She’s like her mommy…likes the adventure of a risk.

Dear grandparents, the ditch was only a few feet inches wide, I held her hand as she crossed, you can stop worrying.

….unless you remember me as a little girl.
