The Humble Weed Wackers

Sequel to: The Humble Ditch Diggers. We have a wonderful family! Grandpa Jim and Omi Birgit have come down from Brigham City 5 times (driving 4 hours round-trip), spent 5 or so nights at our house, and worked easily 80+ hours on our yard. The Aldrich crew also spent a couple of evenings helping out. Below (taming the jungle) are Jim, Birgit, Papa John, our neighbor Trent, and me & Jorg.

Jim took Rebecca for a tractor ride:



The result: Isn't it pretty? We now have a full sprinkler system, a flat, weed-free yard, and grass sprouting at this very moment!

We always have a great time when Jim and Birgit come down. We eat good food, laugh, talk, and get most entertainment from our silly daughter. I never knew yard work could be so much fun. Thank you, Jim and Birgit, for your labor of love! You amaze us! We are the luckiest!!
