Newest Backhoe Addition :)

Roge has been working on additional pieces for the backhoe to aid in ripping up roots and grading the yard.  The one piece (posted earlier) has worked great!  Recently, he tried to build a similar piece with teeth that would rake the soil.  The wooden teeth didn't hold up to the roots.  Our incredible neighbor, Don, was interested in the idea and offered to weld a metal piece for the backhoe.  It worked beautifully!  His grandson even helped and was very excited to deliver it to us.  It is getting the roots and making the hand raking a much easier endeavor!  How awesome are our neighbors?  Thank you!  Here are a few pictures...





I sowed (is that the right word?) some grass seed along the driveway and covered it with straw yesterday.  I forgot to take a picture of all of my hard work!  I will be sure to post tomorrow.  Hopefully, soon we we will see some nice soft green grass poking up through!
