Nelson and Luken haul in wood for the garden

Here are some turkey tracks.  

Derp.

I have a 16 year old friend who informs me that "derp" is 

an appropriate response when someone says something that is 

abundantly obvious. 

Sort of like "Duh".  But not. 

I guess you'd need to be 16 years old to understand this fully. 

Derp. 

You'll notice that there is also a tire track.  

Derp. 

Since our truck is not running, 

we borrowed Nelson. 

Nelson is a polite little truck. 

Nelson has good manners. 

Nelson is my favorite vehicle of all the vehicles 

I am privy to borrow. 

We're collecting wood

for a new

hugelkulture bed.

The pile we worked on today was only 

several blocks from our home.  

We were able to move

three loads from the worksite

into our back yard. 

As you can see, 

we had help. 

Derp. 

Apparently all that helping

makes a young boy thirsty.

And silly. 

Derp. 

I had a headache this afternoon.

But nevertheless,

it felt good to work hard. 

And seeing the huge pile

of wood in our backyard

brings me a sense of pride. 

We have a LOT more word to do 

but today was a good start. 

See, gardening never really stops.
It just looks a little different during the winter. 

Have a good weekend, all. 

Oh, and

LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS!

Derp.
