Weeds

I mentioned that we needed to clear weeds off our empty lot this week.  We tried to find someone to hire but nobody called us back and so we decided to make it a FHE project with the promise of pizza afterwards.  We all headed over at 4:30 with our van filled with shovels and gloves to chop off huge prickly bushes. We did make a little dent in it but could see that we would need a lot more man power to finish the entire lot.  The ground was hard, the temperature hot and allergies were starting to kick in for Janika and Jared.  Allergies hit me too but not until we arrived home -- and persisted for several days -- UGH!  Anyway, we made it almost an hour before Rick left to pick up Jaiden from dance.  He decided to make a few more phone calls while he was out to see if we could hire someone.  He came back and said, "I found someone -- let's go get pizza!"  At least we tried, right?  The cost to have it professionally cleared?  $150.00....and worth every penny!
