Well, we said these posts might not be too profound... but can I just say that I love my man!! :) He is such a hard worker and sooo determined when he sets his mind to something. Here is the big city boy looking rather farmer-like!
We have a pond on our lot that is about 60 x 90 feet, and we agreed as part of our purchase agreement that we would pay to have rock put around it. That's a lot of rock and a good amount of money.... well, we had it done late last summer. We pictured a nice clean landscaped-look. Well, last fall we had LOTS of rain, and most of our dirt yard was washed into these beautiful stones! Thus, leaving them covered in mud in several spots. This summer we have watched this rock bed become a weed garden. So, Steve has spent several hours this week (after Round-Up) pulling and pulling. Today, he borrowed some waders and headed in. While some might like the natural look of the tall grasses, they were not what we pictured. So hours later and several pounds lighter from sweat loss, Steve heads in for a much needed shower! Thanks, hon! As you know, I would have said "This is pointless" hours ago! The pond is looking much better... we'll see if the pulling and raising of the water level keep these natural beauties away! 
Can you see the before and after sections? :) I better post this before he finds out!!

This is hilarious! I love seeing the pond!!!! I hear you talk and never can envision it...now I get it! I hope you're keeping the neighborhood AND the weeds out :)Good job, Steve!!
I'm glad to see you guys are blogging now...and glad to see you're keeping busy in not-so-busy Willmar. I wish I could come visit, but there are just too many things in life that need attention right now (thankfully, they don't include a 3-year-old for me yet!)
Well, take care and God bless!
