"Nascarswell"
So I'm super freckly right now. And I have blisters and sunburn scars and angry muscles. But it's no problem. I shovel and screen dirt everyday and sometimes water the gardens as a sort of "break".
On Saturday, my dad and I dug a trench about 20 to 25 feet long and 1 and 1/2 feet deep to lay tubing to correct the drainage problem in our yard. It took about 3 and 1/2 hours to completely do. It consisted of actually digging the trench, then getting 4 wheelbarrow loads of rock to half-way fill up the trench around the tubing, then piling the dirt back over the tubing and tamping it down, and then finally piecing the grass back together so the neighbor whose yard it turned out to be wouldn't freak out.
Oh, yes, I'm driving now! It's kind of stressful to have my dad in the passenger's seat because he talks the entire time and constantly tells me that I'm not using enough brake. Driving with Anita is so much easier because she explains what has to be done and then just sits back and lets me do it. I drove to the New Market Battlefield through the mountains which was soo cool and fun to do. Going around the "S's" and the curves with figuring out where to brake and when to accelerate to pull the car out of the curve was so so fun. And I did it in only my fourth hour of driving!
I'm going to go help Anita make spaghetti now, or, if she doesn't need my help, I'm going to work on the challenging froggy puzzle that I made a lot of headway on yesterday
