Gathering Kindling

Day 3 of the best weather in a long time! We were actually only one degree from matching the record high temperature on this day of 72*. Which considering it was 6* in the morning only 5 days ago, that's pretty amazing!

So outside we went again. This time I decided to restock the kindling pile. Not hard to do, just walk around the yard picking up branches that have fallen out of the trees onto the front yard areas.



Amanda, however, decided that the garden was, once again, THE place to be. So to the barn for her garden tools.




And off to dig in the nice Tennessee clay.




This is as far as I got with the kindling pile before Amanda decided to do something else.



She wanted to ride her redneck roller coaster.

From the septic tank....

....all the way down....

Oops, forgot to tell ya, that ride goes fast!

....all the way down to the pond...almost.

And for you quick thinkers, the septic tank is a holding tank and the contents are pumped up and away....not leeched down to the pond. At least that's what we've been told....
