Taking care of business

There is a lot of work in the backyard. You have rolled up your sleeves to get at it. The wheelbarrow is full of dirt and shrubs lay row by row, ready to be planted into the holes you dug beforehand.

We used to have a playground with swing and slide for the girls. They didn't use it that much, they are more in to jumping on the huge trampoline that is also sitting in the backyard. So we all decided the playground had to go. Too bad it is captured in concrete in the ground. What a pain! We didn't plan to dig it up again, when we put it there in the first place. But children grow up and their interests change, right?

Your brother will come and make sure there will be a new lawn to play on. We don't know yet, how we will make the whippets understand the grass needs time to grow. They are not supposed to dig holes and ruin the lawn. I suggested putting up a fence across the yard, so they cannot run on the new grass until it is fully grown and strong. The fence could be used afterwards, to build a new pen for the chickens. We'll see. Keep on digging. There's a lot of work to be done..
