Nov 25th - Good Thanksgiving

I didn't do much Tuesday or Wednesday. We had a light drizzle, at times, both days. Thursday we went to Kelsey's for Thanksgiving. Lots of folks and lots of good food.
 It was a nice enough day that the kids made good use of the trampoline.
 Nolan looks like he might be ready to cry in this photo. He was not. I took the photo because he was covered in his Thanksgiving dinner. He really enjoyed it. He was very good all day.
Nolan and Lydia came to our house in the evening and spent the night.

Today I did more work on drains. I wasn't sure whether I hit rock or concrete in the photo below. I was afraid that is it was concrete it might be encasing something. I enlarged the hole and dug around the area until I determined it was "rotten" rock, not concrete. I was able to knock off the top couple of inches without to much problem.
By early afternoon I had finished the trench and I the PVC drain line was in place. The corrugated black drain will eventually tie into the PVC back at the corner of the house. I still have about 15' of trench to dig before that can happen.
By late afternoon I had the trench backfilled. I still have to rebuild the rock retaining wall. Next spring this entire area of the year will need to be tilled. leveled and reseeded.
God is good. May He bless you and yours.
