Lemonade...

The tree was down, I was sad but here is the upside: my plants are growing like CRAZY because of all the sunshine they are suddenly getting! The arborist said the rest of the trees are going to fill in and grow about 4 feet a year now that the big oak is gone; we are going to plant an even larger lawn, and lastly but most importantly...the tree house went up!!
My Grandpa, Brian and Tim all pitched in and built an awesome tree house. I am very thankful to Tim and my Grandpa for there diligence because it was HOT out there. Tim showed up like clock work every time my Grandpa came down to work on the tree house. All the boys: Cody, Troy and Ty worked really hard with their dad to get it done. They painted, put up siding, moved wood and worked as great assistants. Ty is now addicted to anything related to tools and uses my home decor as a hammer any chance he gets. It took about three full weekends and an injured knee to complete it but it is built to code and ain't goin' anywhere!
I'm so thankful for my lemonade and the men who took my tribulation and made it a triumph!
