operation ownership

Well, it is ours!  Our dream home renovations started last night after closing by taking the mower over and mowing the grass.  We learned how to use the zero turn mower out in the open field and I became confident enough that I even mowed around the trees. Trees, yes, lots of trees.  I love trees! Now, don't ask me if I remember how to start the thing today but yesterday was good!  LOL The children picked up sticks and trash while we mowed the big part of the yard before getting around the house itself and the outbuildings. The property looks so much better.  Then after about 3 hours of that we headed for Thorton's where everyone was treated to a slushi!  Here are a couple of photos after mowing most of the property.  We still have some tall weeds to do next time we are there but most of it is done.  We also took a burn barrel over so we could start burning things that could be burnt.  The kids had fun throwing their yard finds in and watching the different colors of flame be produced.
