This past summer I had enough of my front lawn and decided that it should not look like my house is abandoned. Since I have years of Bermuda grass growing freely, the top layer of dirt had to go and hence the fun began. I was able to pick up most of the dirt with a tractor but a good portion needed to be scooped up by shovel and wheel barrow. I aligned the trailer ramps with the tires of the wheelbarrow therefore leaving a small gap between the ramps. At first I remembered not to step in the middle of the ramps as I unloaded the dirt on the trailer yet after a short while, I forgot and the sensation began. My foot briefly made contact with the edge of the trailer before slipping and my shin was the next to hit that edge. Oh boy, what a fun experience. Notice how there is no exclamation mark at the end of the previous sentence. Especially while trying to prevent a wheel barrow full of dirt from falling on me. When Ben noticed that I was pain, he quickly looked around the yard to see how he could help me.
"Here Daddy!" He exclaimed. "This leaf will make you feel better!"
It did make me feel better. Surprisingly, his thoughtfulness did make a difference. So thanks Ben. You probably don't remember the moment, but here is a picture of the leaf you gave me. That was very nice of you.
