Weeds and Trees

Yesterday Kit Kat drove us home from our tennis outing. The neighbor from across the street came over and asked if Little Kat wanted to make some money. Now you should know that Little Kat is saving up to buy a laptop. Unfortunately he just bought a big Nerf gun and ammo vest for $63. So you know he is looking for extra cash.

I sent Little Kat over with our hand saw. He seemed to start out doing some weeding. But then he was pulling out trees. He brought home a bamboo shoot that was taller than him (we want to plant some bamboo in the back yard). By the time Kit Kat finished cooking us up some macaroni and cheese casserole, I went to find Little Kat. He and the neighbor were sawing down trees in her front yard.

Little Kat came back to report that he made some cash. He also said our neighbor might have a spare laptop sitting around the house. That sounded strange. I did applaud Little Kat for doing a lot of manual labor just after we spent the afternoon playing tennis. Little Kat might just bulk up and be a Big Kat some day.

Clearing the Forest

We have a lot of land on our property. The fence only encloses a small portion of the land. We want to extend our fence out to the true property line. There is just one problem. The area behind our fence is woods. You could also call it a forest.

Previously I had went back there and chopped a path along our property line. That was last year. Since then the forest has been growing back. It is on a mission. I had to fight back today.

Armed with a hand saw I started chopping through the trees. There was not much progress. I bagged up the pieces I cut and left it out for the trash man. Next step is to save up money to get some dudes to install a big fence.
