More yard work...

Dear Nicky,

This morning I spread 33 bags of mulch around the house and yard, mowed the lawn, dethatched the lawn, then mowed up the thatch. It took me all day long. But it was a nice day, the work needed to be done, and now everything looks much nicer. Doing it myself saved us a bunch of money, too, since every kind of service professional in the suburbs wants to charge you an arm and a leg. While I was working on the yard, Mom took you guys to three different parks, Borders, and Target. Later I grilled some wursts. One kind was tender and tasty, the other kind of dry and tough. Yep, we got a lot of stuff done.

Love,
Dad
