A new fence!

Weekend upon weekend, and evening upon evening, Amos spent his free time outside building this lovely fence! Each of the 21 holes were dug by hand with a post-hole digger and a crowbar to help break up all the rocks. Everyone kept trying to get him to get an electric digger, but to no avail. He wanted the exercise and the satisfaction of doing it on his own.

Cambria loved to go outside and help whenever she could. She usually had a bucket and would collect the rocks or fill it with water and stir it with a stick to make "dinner" (rock soup). You can see her lawnmower in the middle of the yard. She likes to help mow, too.

Now the kids love to race dad to the tree, run around it, and play in the yard.
