What a Beautiful Day!

The weather is so pretty right now! My baby and I went to school with my darling, as he was preaching for Chapel today. When we stepped outside at 6:30 this morning, I could tell it was going to be gorgeous! Sure enough, it was. I was able to finish pulling up the ivy on one side of the porch. There's still just a bit going along the side of the house, I'm going to work on it the next pretty day we have.

So, the tally for interesting finds in the ivy so far is:

• 1 broken CD
• 1 golf ball
• 2 cigarette lighters
• 1 hot cheetos wrapper
• a bunch of Hyacinth, and tulips(?)
• More worms than I wanted to count
• 1 piece of broken pottery
• 4 or 5 fist sized rocks, and
• 1 stump

I'm going to take before and after pictures of the other side of the front, so you can get an idea of the difference. Digging up the roots on the side that's finished (I didn't actually get all of the roots up), I found one root that was an inch in diameter! I followed it for a little ways, but realised that to dig up the entire thing, I was going to have to dig up the entire yard. So, I used my fabulous shears and cut the thing out of the ground. Ivy is crazy!
