After mowing, the first thing that needed to be done to our six plus acres of land was the removal of junk from inside the shed and beside it.
We discovered hundreds of what the exterminator called “Burrowing Wasps” in the dirt floor of our shed. Their holes are the size of my index finger. Surprisingly, these wasps don’t sting when you disturb them. The exterminator said to put two inches of gravel on the floor of the shed to prevent the wasps from returning.
We wanted to make a pad for the RV and add gravel to the driveway so we ordered about 50 tons of gravel. We also needed dirt to cover the paths the kids made in the yard with their bikes, cars and four wheelers. Terry borrowed my brother Jim’s tractor to move all this soil and gravel around.
My brother Clare has operated Hoven’s Lawn Care for about 30 years. We were glad to have him come to sow the grass seed.
The western side of the property has about 20 oak and walnut trees that my former father-in-law planted in the late 60’s or early 70’s. The hibiscus is a perennial that grew huge red flowers.
Last fall I planted tulips along the western edge of the driveway and put blocks along the edge so the grandchildren wouldn’t drive over the tulip bed. Because we have planted grass seed along this area, my tulip bed will now be on the eastern edge of the driveway.
From the front door, you can see the sun rise. From the patio you can see rabbits and sometimes deer. From the highway you can see that we have plenty of room for friends and family to park their cars. We even have space for an RV if you want to visit us but call first because we might have gone RVing.
