Ruling and Subduing

We have been celebrating today’s gorgeous weather in a most un-Moreheadlike way: yard work!

I don’t think the pictures can quite convey the horror that was the area back by our garage. Rebecca once said that she was afraid that she was going to run over someone every time she had to pull out of the alley.

And Jason admitted that it crossed his mind that he might find a body back there (chalk that up to watching too much Bones lately). Thankfully, he found only a snake and a couple of aluminum cans.

Meanwhile, Simon helpfully rearranged the rocks in what I guess is the driveway. What a thoughtful boy.

And while the “after” still leaves plenty to be desired, it is quite satisfying to be just that much less of a blight on the neighborhood.
