Kyle does not always like to indulge my whims, but he was agreeable to this one a couple of weeks ago. We have been working on our front yard. Since moving into the house, we have thought about ripping the grass out and starting from scratch. Along with that plan, we had planned to rip out the driveway and make the grass area larger. Well, as you have seen, we have taken the driveway out.
Well, there was a large rock that is hidden from the street from an azalea we have. I like to highlight rocks that are in the landscape. One day while doing dishes and looking out the front window, I pondered moving the rock to a more prominent place. I asked Kyle that evening..."Kyle what do you think about moving the rock forward? Do you think we can do it? Do you think we could ask **a friend** to borrow his truck and wench and drag it a little?" Kyle looked at me and said..."I have no idea...maybe...call **a friend** and ask him."
So I did, and what you see is what happened...
Kyle hooking up the wench line to the rock.
Getting the truck ready to drag the rock.
After a little digging, wondering if it was going to ever move, and a little bit of what were we thinking...the rock moved!
Like I said, a little digging was involved. Like all things in the house, the rock was placed with love and not meant to be moved for a REALLY long time if ever, but we conquered it! The upside of the hole left by the rock is now we have a pre-dug hole for a new tree! Yeah!!
A little smile on a job well done. Thank you Kyle for "letting" me move the rock!
