Removing the Thorny Bush: A Story Told in Pictures (8/24)


We wake up early in the morning, drive to frickin' Home Depot and buy some tools to remove the thorny bush.



A view of our front yard. Thorny bush noted by arrow.



Rosanne helps clear the land.



The rubbish and organic waste we've created. We cleaned up the front corner of our lawn that was overgrown.



A girl with her tools.



Tools. Not being used.
(I enjoyed tilling the land with the device on the right.)



Leftover beer from the 30 pack we bought from the move. Still drinking.



This part of the lawn is full of rocks, which Rosanne is picking up.



We go to great lengths to dig up this shrub. We use a saw, a big shovel, and even trowels.



The moat we dug. Lovely.



Rosanne is glad we're done for the day. We didn't get the friggin' shrub out though. I called Home Depot to see how much it cost to rent a chainsaw. Yes, I said a chainsaw. It costs 60 dollars for 24-hours. We're going to wait on this.



We discover Sasha hard at work finding a new cat bed.



...to be continued.

I am jealous of Sasha. I want a new cat bed. And I want the shrub gone. Friday I'm making another trip to Home Despot to try to get a saw that maybe will help us more than the bow saw we have, but that's not quite as dangerous as a chainsaw. And maybe another shovel. The shrub has got to go - we can't be beaten by the thorny bush!
