Answered Prayers, and Uncovered Concrete

Wednesday afternoon I went to clean up a HUGE eye sore in the woods by my garden....
it was ugly pile of JUNK and a tree had fallen over on top of it. I started sifting thru the dirt
and discovered that it was lovely dirt w/ junk (glass, rugs, shoes, cords, bags, etc) and I would need
a tractor or something bigger then my hands and shovel and measly little wagon to take care of it...
Dad came over sometime while I was doing it and offered his tractor and chainsaw and help on
Saturday....An answer to prayer...kinda! :-) Before it was even breathed...
 
So around 9 am I heard the boys coming over and I decided to hurry and head out and see what was up. after a bit here comes the tractor! first off the tree had to be removed...and then in clearing it out we discovered there was Concrete under our feet...under all that dirt and junk! when it was all finished and dad took the loader after it and scraped it as clean as possible we realized that yes, indeed there was concrete and a nice size slab of it! I think dad said it was a 8x20 or something along that line...yes, it would have made Ryan's shed if he'd know it was there...but now...I think it will make a lovely campsite or something of the sort.....a flower work shop (minus the shop)? who knows...I think I can find a use for it! it's kinda set back in a corner of the woods and it's a lovely little secluded area...We burned Lots of stuff and found some treasures...There are about 2 other treasure islands that need cleaned up yet and the eyesores will be mostly gone! In the summer they do disappear in the foliage but I still know they are there! :-0

 
I found some tanks cut it half that I might just plant some flowers in...I was thinking I was gonna need to go buy some flower pots.....:-) I think I'll save the pennies-did anybody read to Sunday School Paper today?!!?!! Oh, and one top of this lovely slab....there was even some lovelier composted leaves, etc! yes, I will even save there too! Blessings from above do come it ways we would have NEVER guessed! SIGH OF RELIEF!!! and back a little farther in there is also Hog panel I think I could put to use for bean fence or tomatoes? or something....Raspberries? who knows....I don't have to buy that either! I will just have to find some stakes to hold it up.
 
So, cleaning up ancient junk can be kinda fun! You might just find some treasures and Concrete slabs!

I think a greenhouse to plant cut flowers in to grow all year long would be a good idea for your concrete... =)

I like the greenhouse idea. If you're thinking money... you could raise and sell plants.

ponderings...

Some times i wonder....why do i even blog? do ppl even read it? but then i wonder am i selfishly wanting ppl to notice? do they have to comment? I rarely comment on other's posts...so why should they comment on mine? I do try to comment all the time! but for some reason since my computer is so slow....the internet anyway...it tells me i'm not allowed to....so even if you don't see a comment from me know that i wanted to! and maybe that's everybody elses problem! the same one i have! their internet's being snotty! ha! ;) I love to read all the blogs i do read and wish like crazy that i could comment! so here a some comments i've thought about recently.... Amy...I loved your Christmas blog! and i know ya'll might get tired of me saying this...but it almost brought tears to my eyes...thinking as how we miss out on that kinda stuff here in South Carolina.....since everybody else...or a bunch of everybody else is way out there! But thanks for the pictures and all...

i Think it's time...

To go on a trip! I was thinking that i needed to get out my suitcase to pack to go on the camping trip and all of a sudden realized how odd it felt to be getting it out....and thinking back to camping trips before how it didn't feel so odd to get packed up....well, i suppose that means i've been working too much and not going places anymore! ha ha! This summer i may get a few excursions in here and there...but not sure yet if i will or not.....i am going to LA for 10 days, but there are a few other places to go too..... i mean i need to put my suitcases to use right?! :-) it's definitely time! ha ha! in other news...this weekend is the end of school....graduation....etc!
