Shoving

So Yard work is on our agenda for this summer.

Our Yard needs A LOT of work.

We were outside all last week. Dusty was digging stumps out and putting up a fence. We have some BIG plans for the yard. We have an old shed in the back corner and I measured behind it to see if we could put our dog run back there but we were shy 6 inches!! I think Dusty needed a break so he came over and started "investigating" and soon enough I saw the "look" in his eyes.

The look like, "This is gonna be fun!".

Soon dusty had straps hooked on to the building BUT he didn't have enough straps so then he was off on a rope search. He came back into the yard holding a rope that seriously looked like it had been around for a century! He got that all tied in and then disappeared again. I then heard the familiar sound of a diesel truck. He backed the truck in and hooked up all the ropes.

He got in and pulled.

Nothing happened.

The building has also been sitting there for 30 years and I think it's grown into the earth. So he pulled harder and then the century old rope broke. It did this three times.

I seriously thought he would of packed it in and called it quits but no. He went searching for another rope. He brought back this tiny white rope we used to tie up the dog.

I thought he was kidding.

He got everything all situated and pulled and that dang building actually moved.

Incredible.

Dusty had so much fun.

It was ridiculous to watch him.

I learned two things that day,

1. As serious and hardworking as Dusty is, he is still just a silly boy and
2. when push comes to shove, the big red ford truck somehow always earns it's keep around here.
