Muddin' Trucks and Sinking Ships

Now that Levi has his (dad's) truck, he washes it about every week and polishes it. Looking pretty good for a 12 year old truck. Oh, and look closely to that CB antenna on the cab. Levi drove the truck around like that for two weeks . Now mind you, he didn't have a CB radio to hook up to the antenna. When I asked him what he was doing with an antenna on his cab, he just wanted to see how it looked and had to ask everyone's opinion. One our good friends took pity on him and gave him one that had sat on a shelf in the garage for years. Levi was thrilled.
Levi thinks that he needs a more manly truck with big wheels, etc. I think one wheel on the trucks that he's looking at cost as much as four tires on our truck. Maybe he should save all of the money that he isn't earning right now and buy bigger tires and new seat covers. The big yellow bus is always another option.

I guess Kirk can't handle hearing about the new/used Chevy that Levi NEEDS to get, it's either that or they are working him too much at work. This is a rare glimpse that we saw of him when he was home for a short amount of time. Time to Waki,waki! The ship might be sinking.

Spring Fever

Spring keeps teasing us. One day it is in the 70's and the very next day it is back down in the 40's. This "spring fever" has got to Levi. He is asking for money every other day to go to the local nursery and get compost, rocks, mulch, and plants. He spent big bucks on a few shrubs and decided to go to Lowe's and buy rooting hormone for $5, so he can grow his own plants from cuttings. I think my yard will be worth more than my house when Levi gets done. It will be nice.
















This view of part of our backyard shows some of the progress that Levi is making. When summer comes, the yard should be looking pretty good. Look at how the the tree is starting to show signs of springtime. I hope that when Levi starts working at the garden center for his internship, he will still have time to work in our yard. You know how it can be when kids get a job and start earning money for themselves.....they suddenly become too important to do things around home (for free)!
